"Selflessness" - This word should be removed from the dictionary, or atleast its meaning has to be modified as "non-existing".
Selfishness is an inherent property of a human being. I was having the "selfish-selfless" discussion with a friend of mine, when he said "Many people do social service. They are selfless people". I said, "Those people are getting happiness by doing social work. Helping others is actually increasing their own happiness. So, they are the most selfish people."
If you dont believe me, just ask any person who cares for others, and who helps others, if he/she is not doing it happily.
People who come close to be called as "selfless" are those who help others and dont feel happy about it. Because they are going against their own happiness, which is the toughest thing to do for any human being.
What say?
By the way, a happy new year!
