Yes, it's trivial. That doesn't make it untrue. "Selfish" = trying to achieve your values, rather than a blend of your values and other people's values.
'selfish', as it's used in ethics and ordinary speech, is a vice involving too much concern for oneself with respect to others. If virtue theory is correct, acting selfishly is bad for oneself.
