@seohyunlee9412 for your second sentence, say: “people end up being selfish”.
people = they
they end up
people end up

@seohyunlee9412 Sorry 😅
Your second sentence “people ends up being being selfish” is not correct grammatically. It should be: “people end up being selfish”.
But the meaning is correct! It means the same thing as your first sentence “people eventually are selfish”

“People are ultimately selfish” is another good option.
