How bad is it to be selfish? - Page 2

As far as love goes, we've had this discussion before, I think love is putting someone else and their needs before yourself, and that is the complete opposite of selfishness, in my books, so how can love be selfish?

That is because selflessness because you love someone is not genuineness. It is actually due to the selfish reason that you desire love, for the selfish reason that doing something for someone you love makes you feel good. It is like they say, pride is the only sin that cannot be beaten. Love is the only selfless act that is completely selfish.

I will reply to above points, but I feel that Love is like "thou art that". In love there is a very less distinction between thou and the other person :P. People feel like one.

yeah selfish and selfless look to be two extreme points. One cares for the self (thou) and other cares for the that. Love is the art part. Its an art. 😛

If the "This" and "That" run along parallel to each other then they will never meet.😆

yeah thats why I edited to say that Love is an "art" that connects thou and that. 😛
