Don't forget thou that Kirk did turn that around onSpock when he went to get him. It doesn't always make sense that way and some may see it as selfish but not the way Kirk did it.
Sometimes the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many. He went to save Spock when anyone else might have just gotten the he!! out of their. Kirk likes to change the rules to fit the best for his crew. Make the impossible possible.
WAW spouses aren't thinking of their families in the way the LBS does. My ex cared only about his happiness and believed everyone should be happy for him. His was the selfish interpretation.
Live long and prosper.
