I can kinda see what your seeing but really if he was THAT selfish he would have let Arthur kill his father, he would have told him to tell the disir that he would allow magic back in the kingdom instead he told Arthur not to do Mordred would die and Arthur would live but leaving Merlin in a land where magic is persecuted even more heavily. There are many instances where if it's a Choice between what he wants and what's best for the future of Albion/Arthur he will sacrifice everything to that end. He was a selfless fool that had no real wisdom to guide him and was forced to make decisions even the wisest would struggle to choose the right path... He was unendingly selfless in so many ways to the point that his selflessness lead to him sacrificing things that he didn't understand would lead to disaster. I think you might need to rewatch the show. Lastly one thing to keep in mind when reading or watching something that focuses mostly on one person's perspective is that it can falsely lead someone to believe it's all about that person and everything happens for/because of them. I have heard the same thing about Harry Potter but his actions speak differently then what it may appear.
