Thinking this way is a neurosis. 'Selfless' is a neurosis because it negates the importance of self.

There are caring and kind people all over this planet who would never commit the sin of negating their 'self.' And it is a sin.

There is a harmony and a balance and it has nothing to do with sacrificing self in the process.
