Selfish, selfless...righteous giving, passive receiver

Have you ever received a gift you didn't need? Or done something for someone and walked away feeling better yourself? We often talk about selflessness as though one person gives and another person receives. But the more I thought about it, the more complicated it seemed. Because whenever we help someone, something often comes back to us too: relief, connection, meaning, validation, or simply the satisfaction of knowing we made a difference. And if that's true, then what exactly do we mean when we call something selfless? In this episode, I explore giving, receiving, kindness, emotional exchange, and whether selflessness is as straightforward as we often assume. What do you think? Are we ever truly selfless? #selflessness #humannature #reflection #socialcommentary #thefadshow
