I don't think so. I agree with what someone said above, that we do everything for ourselves. However, that doesn't mean we are truely selfish.

If you love someone, whether it be intimate, parential, friendship, etc. you wish for their happiness, success, etc.

If you are a lover, you will try to make your partner happy. If you are a mother/father, you will strive to make your children happy, loving, successful, etc. If you are a friend, you will do everything in your power to make your friend happy. We do these things because they make someone happy, and more importantly, it makes us happy.

Love is definately not selfless, but because you're doing something to benefit both sides with the intent that both sides being happy, love isn't selfish.

Confusing, I know. Sorry >>
