1) Frustration which is completely understandable.
2) Some bitterness for loosing which is completely understandable.
3) Some sadness that people just dont get that they arent ready which is understandable.
4) Some Selfishness yourself...

I do have to say, your post is amazingly perceptive. And no, I don't mean that in a sarcastic way - I do have to agree with you on every one of those points, including the last. Yes, I am selfish - both in Fiesta and in real life. But personally, I don't actually place any judgement on "selfish" by itself, since many of us (or at least me) live in capitialist societies which function because of selfishness. I guess my defense would be a distinction between selfishness that leads to a greater good and blind selfishness. In real life, someone who starts their own business is an example of the first - of course they want to make money, but in the process, they'll likely create more jobs and bolster the economy. Nothing bad with that selfishness. A theif, on the other hand, is an obvious example of blind selfishness - someone who ultimately hurts their whole society in the end. So, coming back to KQs, yes, I'll say again that I am selfish and I won't try not to be - but I will try to be selfish in a way that helps, or at least doesn't hurt, other people.
Anyway, thanks to all the responses so far - I love seeing everyone's perspective, even those that disagree with me. =D
