Actually, no, you aren't. Personally I'm of the opinion that I would strive to save the other person if there was nothing else to be done, but I can understand in this kind of situation if one isn't altruistic at all. Selfishness might be ugly most of the time, but sometimes it serves us well.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
