Selfishness and selflessness

I've learnt in life that deep down, we are all selfish by nature. It's part of who we are and there is nothing we can do it change it. No matter how we act or what we do, deep down, we all like to think of ourselves first.

The point is, there is nothing necessarily wrong with that. Some actions that result from it are wrong, lawfully and morally, but acknowledging you are selfish isn't as sinful as people make it out to be, ad is even quite brave. Everyone wants to live. I respect it.

Selfless people are just the people with the strength to overcome that selfish nature, which is an admirable feat as well. To turn away from your own need to focus on other people is pretty good too.

I admire those people with strength. I wish I had a little of that strength too.
