Selfishly Selfless - a higher goal

...for Jer, something I've been thinking about...

Greed is inherently selfish - selfishness is not inherently greedy.

I make this distinction clear as too often we, society, make reference to selfishness in terms of greed (monetary selfishness), and, as a prerequisite for what I'm about to say:

It's possible to be selfishly selfless. In fact, selfishness is the first step in selflessness. To truly helps others you must help yourself first.
