Basically what I meant is that you claim that expecting positivity in return to how you interact with others is being selfish. But if most acts are selfish then it follows that you are not being selfish, relatively speaking here. Think of things as relative. Relative to experience, perspective, person, etc. Nothing is black and white, or rather most things are one and the same. Do you follow?

I Gotcha!

I guess I just don't see things like that.

If a coin flips heads 1000 times; you still have a 50/50 chance (with all things being random) that it'll flip heads again. Not that it'll practically be a sure thing either way. It was and still is random.

How does this apply to "selfish"? Well; if i'm doing something that isn't harmfull; sure its less selfish than other people doing other acts; relatively speeking. "Less selfish" doesn't become "selfless". Thats like comparing numbers around 50 and 100; saying that 1 is practically a negative number because in comparison its far less.

*smile*

I don't ask to be right; just that you consider this perspective is all.
