It is human nature to be selfish, that's how laws were born. People getting together and saying "I don't want that fucker getting into MY shit." Thus, we protect each other out of self interest. That's why the USSR fell, it could not sustain itself with an ideal of selflessness, because people are basically selfish and will always and ultimately do what is in their own self interest. If you say "from each according to his ability and to each according to his need", then you'll end up with a bunch of people with little ability and large needs.

"Just as a man who has fallen into a heap of filth ought to seek the great pond of water covered with lotuses, which is near by: even so seek thou for the great deathless lake of Nirvana to wash off the defilement of wrong. If the lake is not sought, it is not the fault of the lake."
