Is being SELFLESS versus SELFISH debatable?

 

Is being SELFLESS versus SELFISH debatable?  NO right OR wrong answers here BUT given that emerging recurrence of mix-ups, let's do a lookup to AI who defines SELFISH as being too concerned with one's own needs while SELFLESS means being more concerned with the needs of others.  So, maybe it's worth it to spend today's thread to clear up this kind of a mix-up📘📙📗

So, WHERE do we stand with these two principles?  Maybe, we'll end up somewhere in the 'middle of the road' here?  OR is there a real distinct character trait that we can clearly identify with?  True, generally, we will find that a SELFISH person is keen to be in the limelight and that ultimately they will find NO happiness in constantly pursuing a personal OR even business agenda filled with SELFISHNESS💜💛💚

BUT dude, if we take that path, that seems a very narrow interpretation of things in the light of facets in our life WHERE we seem to have either neglected OR hardly given any attention to.  LIKE investing in yourself, for quality food, for proactive medical checks, for improved mental health, for fitness, for personal development and yes, even for books, even if you settle for e-Books because Amazon is NOT shipping hardbound one to your place😖😖😖

And this brings me to draw a parallelism with regard our health.  ISN'T it our best health will be equally, if NOT more, beneficial to your loved ones?  Obviously, they want you and me to live a life that is long and stretched enough for everyone to live life to the fullest, with everyone with the best health possible.  In that sense, being SELFISH to take care of our health is NOT the twisted SELFISHNESS we would wrongfully think of❌❌❌

Our takeaway:  Let's leave things at that, sweeping under the rug that old school of thought, that twisted definition of being SELFISH because a lot more things in our life today are closely intertwined with people closest to our life [and knock on wood, if 'lightning' does hit anyone of us, that can be as fatal to us as it can be to our loved ones.  SO HOW?  Never think twice to invest in yourself, especially if it is for your health because the benefits get compounded way beyond yourself because you've got your loved ones with you reaping such benefits as well❗❗❗
