โHumans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.

it's been a few hours and the new eevee is slowly starting to explore the room, though the amount of hissing and swatting in my general direction has not ceased. there is a LOT of malice behind those tiny eyes
