The injunction to be unselfish is an impossible ideal.
Each of us is totally selfish in the sense that we are always doing what some part of us wants to.
Generosity feels at least as rewarding as greed.
Selfishness is neither inherently good nor bad - it depends on the way we are selfish as to whether it nourishes or injures.
