8.8 mag. earthquake at Talca, Chile (near Concepción); hundreds killed, $30 billion in damage, making buildings lean, turning over cars as if they were toys.  A tsunami follows, remaking the landscape on the Chilean coast.
Two dozen aftershocks, including that of 6.2 and 6.9 magnitude on the Richter scale.
The quake damaged the Santiago airport, but only set the time that they’re open back for a couple of days.

Another quake in Argentina (confirmed that it is not one of the aftershocks in the area).

Hawaii braces for the tsunami affects of Chile’s 8.8 mag. quake.  Tsunami warning set for 4:05PM EST, so the cable news outlets overplay it, holding off commercial interruption for over an hour for... 6 feet vertical.  The waters receeded, fully came back slowly.

Around 7PM EST, Japan signals their tsunami warning.

Around 9PM EST, the Chilean president declares a “state of catastrophe.”

The True meaning of ‘selfish’

What should make the definition of ‘selfish’ clear is the ‘ish’ part.  Selfishness is being not true to oneself.
Arbitrary, ill-informed goals that one may stick to; not taking advice, not minding how much misery those goals have given them.
There’s a clear distinction between a person’s self-interests (in separation of wants and needs), and selfishness (misleading).
I take “concerned chiefly or only with oneself” as an oversimplification.  Selfishness does not really benefit oneself.
