About This Quote

For some people, selfishness is just an act. They would say that they are only acting selfishly so that they can keep their image of themselves as altruistic, caring individuals. If you ask them to do something selfless, they will say it’s not in their nature. But if you ask them to do something selfish, they will say it’s completely in their nature.

That’s why morality is subjective. Everyone has a different definition for what it means to be truly selfless. The most important thing to understand is that everyone can be selfish at times—even you! So, don’t let others define you with their own definitions of morality.
