self vs. the whole

how do we balance the needs/wants of the self with the maintenance and betterment of the whole? my answer: synergy. it is all about the combined effort. it is about cooperation, strategy, sometimes a little sacrifice.

example: you know the saying there is no i in team? true statement. clearly we [athletes] have the urge to be glory hogs, but if the entire team was compiled of these type of players there would be chaos. it would totally be the every man for himself scenario. every man for himself equals complete disregard for the "whole." so why can't we just work together?
