Selfish Acts Reproduce More Selfish Acts

Ezekiel 16:15. Selfishness is infectious. If one person is selfish and prideful, it is likely that they will incite others to be prideful and selfish. It one person boasts, another will be compelled to boast and tell tall tales. If one person is selfish, he will then entice others to follow his path. This is like what happens with the drug addicts. They start taking drugs, and then they will get their friends hooked on drugs. This is what happens with adultery. If one person outside of marriage fulfills his sexual desires it is really two because his sexual partner is participating in the same act. Then these persons will more than likely have more sexual partners bringing them into the same self-indulgent sexual activities. God does not want us to indulge in our own selfish habits and play the harlot with others (Ezekiel 16:15, "But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was."). God desires us to have a loving relationship with Him with no selfish behavior. If we love God, we have the power to not be enticed by selfish acts of others and not get in a place of selfishness where we entice others to go against God.
