1. Michael Roeske:

   There's a derogatory connotation that comes with the word selfish, as if somebody is making this decision typically for a pleasurable reason, maybe nearsighted is a better way of saying that their focus becomes really limited down to what's immediately in front of them. And they're not able to see the larger context of the history of their life, the relationships and the dimensionality of things.
