On a scale from one to ten, how selfish am I?
It 's an age old question that has haunted me for years.
Of course, I'd like to believe I am altruistic, someone that gives for the sake of giving without slightest regard to self.
But then I wonder......
Can I even conceive the meaning of altruistic?
Even if I give for the sake of giving, isn't there the underlying (selfish) reason hiding behind the scenes. I want to make a difference?
I don't know the answer, and perhaps never will.
But for now, I shall continue to emulate those I perceive to be truly selfless in hopes that one day, I too will make the cut.
These are some 3 am thoughts, aren't they? My guess is, if you're having these thoughts at all, you're at the "unselfish" end of the selfish spectrum.
