487- "ALTRUISM"...THE HIGHEST FORM of PERSONAL SELFISHNESS!....

And why that personal attribute is GOOD!
A) "The belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others."
B) And why is that the highest form of selfishness? You'll need to think out of that proverbial box. When one selflessly, from within, sincerely and honestly does something 'good' for another person or entity, that person and that act of 'selflessness' creates a good feeling inside for them! In doing so, one feels 'good' inside for having created the deed, whether it was intended or not as a goodwill gesture. And THAT, for the record, is...the highest form of 'selfishness.' Remember, you're thinking outside of that proverbial box of everything having to be "selfish" and is not 'good'!
C) Example: you surr-prise someone with a special gift totally not expected! The receiver of the gift is so happy, feeling good inside. AND YOU...YOU see and feel the happiness created by giving that totally surprising gift. Makes YOU feel good inside...right? Far and away from expecting any reward. See? You honesting, inside, did not consider or even plan for that total picture of giving the surr-prise JUST to make YOU feel good! (...more.....)
