When I catch myself living selfishly, I pray for an opportunity to conduct a selfless act.
Whether is helping an elderly person cross the street or opening the door for someone.
Most of all, sponsoring the needy.
What do you do when you realize that you were selfish in some way? How does it feel to make a difference in someone's life in the most insignificant way?
I just sponsored two raped victims from the below link because I want to give them the opportunity to have a normal life.

What would you do to make a difference in the world besides doing for your world?

I don't think it's so much selfishness vs. selflessness, as if it's all about diminishing you even within your own mind, as who your "self" is to begin with. It's a matter of not letting the world touch you, and not letting your life have purpose or principle. -
It's always better to give rather than receive. Its almost selfish in itself bc it makes you feel good to do something nice for somebody -
I'm pretty much selfless most of the time and will help someone out whenever I can. Giving is so much better for both parties.
