Selfishness

Let's talk about selfishness. It is the most ridiculous notion that could be created. To accuse someone of being selfish means that you are saying to that person that they did not act in a manner which considered your feelings or that seemed motivated towards their own interests. What does that even mean? Isn't the act of telling someone that they have behaved selfishly confirming your own selfishness? Now, let's say that I acted in a way that seemed to the other person as being unselfish. I really considered their feelings and maybe even put my own desires aside for such a purpose. If I did so what exactly are my desires then? It would seem that my desires were to act unselfishly to benefit the other person, but am I not seeking to benefit the other person for my own purposes? Was that not my own selfish intention that is being over-looked? There is no difference whatsoever between acting selfishly and acting unselfishly. Charity workers, gift givers, Mother Theresa. They behave exactly as they wish to behave. To define selfishness is pure absurdity disguised as "proper moral behavior"  The inner-workings of fear…One of fear's favorite pastimes is putting lipstick on a pig.  Wipe off the makeup and get real.
