Response: Meghan's Selflessness

In response to: http://meeghanrose.blogspot.com/2012/02/selflessness.html
I also agree that selflessness is impossible, as is it is a figmant of the world's imagination. Everything you do, you are doing because you some part of you wants to. Every time you chose to do something, even reading this post, you are making a choices and whether you would like to admit to it or not, in some way, however minescule, you are benefiting from it. For example, you may say that it is selfless to donate to charity, but you can get enjoyment from it or you may do it because you feel like you should be charitible, both ideas are in thier own way self-interested. Even the most seemingly selfless actions, like risking your life to save another, are not truely selfless. You are making the choice to save them, you are doing it because some part of you wants to. So no there is no such thing as being selfless.
