Seems to me a good follow up poll would be something along the lines of "do others see you as selfless or selfish."
I bring it up because there are people I know who would say I am the most selfless person they ever met.Great suggestion! I may do just that!
I think it is kind of a trick question. We all have the selfish desire to be happy. And the way to eternal happiness is being selfless.
(coming from Advaita Vedanta perspective)
I want to point out that being selfish does not mean one has to be mean, evil, and or cruel to others.The problem is I have to sometimes be selfish in order to get into a position where I can be selfless.
Right, sounds like selflessness.From and Advaita Vedanta perspective, eternal bliss comes as a result of renunciation of desires and attachments.
This is complicated. I follow and advocate my interests and views and act in accordance to them. But my interests are teaching students, science education, improving the health of the planet through sustainability and conservation etc. I am neither being selfish or selfless in my view...simply following a well thought out path towards expressing my talents and self-nature in a positive way for myself and the world.Do you consider yourself the be selfish or selfless?
