There are few saints out there. Many people are selfish sometimes, altruistic other times. Some people will work on increasing or decreasing one or the other. We are human.

Still, it is an interesting measure. No judgment—well, maybe a little—just an assessment.

The current American administration—from the president to his administrators to his supporters—is on constant display. Seeing them in action, hearing their words, how would you assess these public servants and citizens on the scale of selfish to altruistic? Too selfish? Too altruistic?

Once you have made that assessment, ask whether it is consistent with your own personal beliefs and philosophy. If it isn’t, ask what the alternative might be.
