Do we wish to please our little 'self' or please the Universal Self? Some people identify with others so much they instinctively put their happiness above their own. Some Mystics have said that in meditation / prayer, they no longer identify with the ego. - They no longer identify with the little self. Therefore their motives no longer stem from purely selfish aims. I do believe it is possible for us to act without regard to the little self. Jason,

You're selfish. Everything you do is selfish. Every decision you will ever make is undertaken in the pursuit of personal gain, whether it be economical or merely emotional. If you do what you believe are 'good' things, it's because you believe you will benefit in the doing of them. If you do what you believe are 'bad' things, it's because you believe you will benefit in the doing of them. Sometimes the benefit is experiencing something pleasant; other times it is avoiding something painful. Either way: selfish. All your morality, charity, and altruism are ultimately fear, vanity, and narcissism. If that thought doesn't sit well with you, ask yourself why. But don't feel too bad. Everyone else is just as selfish as you are. Consider your motives. You’re selfish. Everything you do is selfish.
