Many people feel torn here, but the truth is it is a false dichotemy. It presumes that if what you do is good for you or feels right, it will be bad for other people or God or whatever. This assumption has done a lot of damage. The great mass of selfless people are walking guilt trips AND THAT drains other people.innolan wrote: your selfishness is against your selflessness.

From the end to the beginning this meaning for the word Being intent to cheat humanity is Biblical, practical, and increasingly necessary in the battlegrounds.
A people divided will fall, this we know so how do we unite? against a common foe! But the foe is not flesh and blood and our weapons not carnal. Our weapon is conscience...your own! Know this you have been infiltrated; if you have believed on Christ, there is a war within your members. Your humanity is against your inhumanity and. your selfishness is against your selflessness. Is it you against the world or are you the world?

I get that way when I light the wrong end of a cigarette myself.
how do we unite? any moron knows the answer to that. How do all toasters make toast? simply by each one doing its own work.
And I don't know about any one else, but I can hardly speak for myself let alone for any "God." In fact, I think it is symptomatic for people to speak in "God's" stead, as if what ever it was was too stupid to speak for itself.

Proofing is no more than demonstrating a compliance with principles of grammar, however, they have not yet been written by anyone with competence. That is part of my project. I have switched to doing video books on it, using. . . not important.
As far as evidence, well, lucid dreaming is back, and it takes years, decades, to learn there, but like anything else, one cannot learn there if they are simply biologically incapable.
Anyway, I have work to do, lots and lots of work.

We at least have overlapping beliefs, I just think the words are misleading and the ones who will feel guilty about being selfish are probably not the ones causing problems. An empathetic selfish person will naturally want others to do well. Because they feel better, not because it is a rule they follow. I prefer those over people who are selfless because that is what religion tells them, so they do good things, following the rules, or with a goal in mind, but without empathy.innolan wrote:Moreno wrote:Many people feel torn here, but the truth is it is a false dichotemy.

I can be agreeable and agree with you. I think you should see I'm speaking of balance. but when the scales are tlited, something needs to be adjusted. But this is MY perspective...Selfless people care more for others than themselves.Selfless people will sacrifice themselve.their time,their money for a cause. Selfish people give up nothing without expectations. selfish people get defensive around selfless people because of the pure nature of the selfless.Jesus died for ME so I have NO guilt. He made his love for me obvious. He told me how to be like Him...Care for others...Forgive them for they know not what they do.For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotton son... treat others as you would have them treat you, forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive them that tresspass against us, judge not lest you be judged,let the person without sin cast the first stone...I SEEK TO EMULATE MY LORD.I know this sets me up for persecution. I also know I'm not by any means perfect. But Jesus made it possible for me to relate to God while in my sins.Thats what Jesus did for me.
"I CAN HOLD NO GUILT,I SHOULDER NO BLAME
FOR IAM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD,I PRAY IN JESUS' NAME"

I don't see a simple 'what about me' mentality. I see children taught to sacrfice their own needs all the time. Religion can be used for this rather well, but there is no need for a religious set of justifications. Of course some people do not listen to all the sacrifice yourself and your desires and dreams for others propaganda, but often the good hearted do. And many of these feel pressured to feign selflessness, at least in certain areas in their lives. Then there are the smug selfless, who feel very judgmental but rarely are open about how low they see others. Anyway, selflessness should not be a goal.innolan wrote:Moreno wrote: I prefer those over people who are selfless because that is what religion tells them, so they do good things, following the rules, or with a goal in mind, but without empathy.
I really don't think you can feign selflessness. In this world, we are all born into the 'what about me' mentality. Those who demonstrate selflessness have to have the understanding (as I help others in the ways I can...My needs will be met) selfish people don't understand (the more I focus on my own needs, the more I'll need)
This is hardly a rule that can be counted on.as I help others in the ways I can...My needs will be met
