wow, i agree entirely with yzerman....
on the note of not being able to unlearn... but we sure as hell can block out ;-)
thing i've always hated about myself is how sensitive and perceptive i am to human behavior..... i always pick up on when people start acting differently, or see alterior motives.... not a happy place to be...
As for psychological egoism... the pain we go through for someone can be 100% unselfish, although the goal in the action might be to attain appreciation. In other words, the desire to attain appreciation, and the acknowledgement that someone is worth the pain are unselfish.
