Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself NOT more than yourself. This is the law of selfishness.
----------------------
Who is the most selfish being in the Universe? God, of course! What could be more selfish than creating us to honor, love and serve him and put no false gods before him?
God is the most selfish being of all and since we are all made in his "image and likeness", it only makes sense, as his creations, that we are destined to be selfish too!
----------------------
Pleasing other people first all the time, won't please you.
When a person sees another person being selfish, it is not selfishness they see, it is fear.
When accused of being selfish by other person, what they are really accusing you of is interfering with their own brand of selfishness.
"I am not selfish", you say. "Prove it", I say! Give me all of your money and devote all of your time to me and then I'll be convinced that your words are true.
Selfishness is taking care of yourself first, loving yourself first, so you will have more of yourself to give in the service to others.
