Did you ever here of the freudian instance model, you know id, ego superego, not everything we do comes because we decide it. Its more of a subconcious thing sometimes, and there it can never be unselfish.
I agree that humans are selfish most of the time... because I am selfish too most of the time without realising it.. but you said that "and there it can never be unselfish".... you used never...
okok... let's put it this way, what if a person never realises the importance of oneself... ;I come from a more tradisional place, and I am exposed to the "unselfish deeds" of the people there, because we "help our neighbour as ourselves", so as to say if one never realises the importance of oneself, then that is hard for him/her to be selfish then can't it?

I certainly don't believe in freudian instance model..... because I don't believe that if you do something subconsciously, you can still be selfish... because selfish I thought can only be accuired if one is still conscious of the decision....
