My supporting POV on selfishness motivating human moral values

[smax]

I have another suggestion for the existence of morality.

Empathy.

I would argue that empathy, with all it's evident limitations, is the product of selfishness. 

Do you have empathy for the spider or an ant or a cockroach? And, while we are at it, do you really think you empathize with even all human beings?

Would you say that you empathize with Adolf Hitler, trying to imagine how he felt right before he killed himself?

And, even you do offer empathy in all those things, would you argue that your empathy is typical of the human condition?

Most likely the answer to all of these questions is no, and clearly the answer is no to the last question. 

So, with that, it's hard to argue that empathy is at the root of moral values.
