"To be alive is to be selfish"

Shelfisness has more than one sides.Although nice point.

I'm starting to explore the idea that selfishness and selflessness may be the same thing, that they both come full circle: fully embodying one necessarily implies the other, they're essentially both sides of the same coin!

Being completely selfish, one realizes that the well being of others and reduction of human suffering, both individually and collectively, is actually to their benefit. And being completely selfless, one realizes that caring for their own well being, and focusing on their own self-actualization is of benefit to everyone you come in contact with, and humanity in general. 

What do y'all think about this?
