Well thanks a lot guys. You've all been of help. While most of you seem to understand how to cope with selfishness, Lurkett and Ratbastid seem to have hit it right on the head when it comes to my case. I consider myself to be extremely vigilant in practicing "treat others how you want to be treated," however as Ratbastid said, sometimes I "behave" against this which can hopefully be fixed over time through practice. I think I just first have to notice the situations in which I could be giving more than what I feel like giving at the time and consider my actions before I act... I dunno.
Thanks for all the help guys. much appreciated. I already had some POV's on the subject before I came to you and it's nice to see that other people understand
