I agree with you that selflessness is very nice.  My mother was so selfless,
and we admired her so much, even though we were not always grateful enough
for it, especially my sister.  But I wonder, if everyone was selfless,
then nobody would have any fun.  Do you think that's true?  Why do selfless
people do it.  Don't they do it so others can have fun?  Although I have
to say that my sister and me didn't have very much fun.  My sister says
it was my mother who was having fun being selfless.  What do you think?
