So you are selfish in a way ?

Maybe, but that sort of selfishness does not negate good wishes for all. I sure don't like to see people (including strangers) suffer. Plus, it's absolutely human to be selective of who you are attached to. It would be impossible to be emotionally attached to everyone. And often unwise (even if it was possible).
