Selfish? Yes. Even our concept of altruism is delusional, I think. For example, if Mother Teresa or I give something to somebody, we feel good about ourselves--we get a reward. Or God showers his blessings on the generous of spirit, if you prefer. I cannot imagine an entirely selfless act unless one is completely psychotic--that is perform an act devoid of feeling. For to give of ones' self and not care would be kind of weird, wouldn't it?
How's that for an extreme position?
