Are we selfish?

Question

Are we selfish?
I was wondering about this. We all do things because of the satisfaction or reward we get. For example we give to charity which gives US a form of satisfaction from helping others we work because we want money to buy nice things. A mother loves her child and will do anything for that child because of the satisfaction the love gives to her the mother.

Answer

Would even asking class as SelfGratification ?brBut of course you are right, was only musing over this last night. It being my birthday I figured it would be nice to give something rather than receive, only to finally figure after feeling particularly proud of myself, that the act in itself could easilly be seen as satisfying myself.brI guess the flipside to all actions is a nagging sense of self.
