I love your selfishness. Learned a lot, while sipping my second coffee and eating my breakfast before diving into work. Thanks kind stranger.
I loved astronomy as a kid and the town I grew up in has a "solar system way", basically a long street where a kind fellow (who in his freetime taught astronomy to nerds like myself and had built his own oberservatory in his backyard) had - with the blessing of the city - built a scale model of the solar system on a length of about 1.5 kilometers (a bit less than a mile).
I always found it fascinating when walking "through our solar system" with about 13 times the speed of light (normal walking translated into the distance at that scale) how veeeeeeeeeeery far apart things get in the solar system.
Edit: And yes - Pluto is still in there. It was built before the demotion - and they kept him in when doing the renovation last year (I was not in my home town since then - I so need to see it, when I visit the next time).
No need for all that extra stuff, just be rational enough to realize humans do not exist in a vacuum, and trust those feelings that tell the healthy mind to be kind, and indeed, that other have those feelings too.

Selfishness tends to work well for everyone when practiced by a rational individual ;)

Not pedantic enough. You failed to define cycical, which may be a misspelling of cyclical, but is impenetrable in meaning if so.
Or maybe it's a typo of cynical rather than some craziness.
