Someone asked me this morning "is it possible to NEVER be selfish" ... I
have been pondering that darn question all day and can't come up with a
good answer! No matter what we do, we always gain something from our
actions... SO whats the answer???!!! LOL

It is much simpler, does your actions cause addition suffering for yourself or others? Ether now or later on? If not, it is fine. Of course, it is hard to see all the consequences for each and every action, but we can only do our best. Paying attention vigilantly is the key. In fact it is the solution to most of the problems that exist, period.
Calling yourself selfish does not help you in any way. Not forgiving yourself for all your actions and not learning from the consequences created, by taking the time to pay attention to them, is a mistake. Forgiveness, and attention, to yourself and others is the way to go. In fact, there are certain individuals and organizations who profit greatly from you being self judgmental to the point of closing your eyes to the things you do and the consequences which are created by your actions. They want you to feel guilty about yourself. But you have a choice.
I am sorry but I do not agree........
While I would not consider myself the least selfish person in the world I have done many unselfish deeds for many people in my life as they have done for me
So yes it is possible from my experience
