@ Unity100:
I would add that selfishness must be coupled with ignorance. And, ignorance is sometimes willful ignorance. The feeling of powerlessness in this world is cultivated effectively, and the physical conditions such that I think it is very difficult for the average person in this world to crawl out of the mud of media and upper echelon control. That said, the information is there. It's not like decades ago when it was easy to hide goings-on from the masses. But the distractions put in place seem to keep most people anesthetized.
Also, I would say that Henry the 8th got the ball rolling to sever the head of religious power more than 200 years prior to the French Revolution.
