Selfishness and Selflessness¶

Selfishness — putting personal gain above all else — is the cancer cell of LIFE's gene. Selflessness — transcending the limits of self-interest — is LIFE's most perfect quality. Heaven is the domain of the selfless; the lives of the extremely selfish converge into a sea of suffering. Those who are selfless belong to the life of the Kingdom of Heaven; those who have some selfishness belong to human life; those whose selfishness is heavy belong to the life of hell.
