Selfishness To Selflessness

The document discusses the concepts of selfishness and selflessness. Selfishness is defined as putting one's own interests above the interests of others by thinking only about oneself and one's own benefit. Selflessness, on the other hand, is defined as acting with less concern for oneself and more concern for helping and supporting others through sharing and lack of self-regarding desires. The document argues that to create a better collective existence, we must abandon selfishness and ego in favor of deeper selflessness through thinking about "us" rather than just "me".

If you genuinely want to help other people, then acting on that desire is selfless not selfish

Your love for you selfish love And Others love for you selfless love

If you are fully busy, caring and loving others.. then you are free to fully absorb and enjoy all the savory love from others
