Selfish
I'm not sure if I understand selfishness. I feel like everything I do is coming from a selfish perspective, even the stuff that seems like I'm doing service or being generous. I don't think I would go out of my way to help other people if I felt lousy for it. Even if the task is a miserable one, I still feel better about myself for being a good person. I can't think of anything I do that doesn't have a selfish intent. Or anything anyone does for that matter. There must be something I'm missing.

Altruism isn't the opposite of selfishness.
i have had the same thought before. but i can't ever seem to work it out in my head. there are only a few things i can think of that are truly absent of any selfishness.
