In all seriousness: I think everybody does everything that they do because of a need to satisfy a personal agenda. If you are selfless because you want to (get into heaven/be recognized as an advanced soul/feel good about yourself/impress the hot new-age chick) that is a selfish act. Its an act to make you feel good. So don't talk about darkworkers being selfish and selfishness being evil, because everyone acts out of self interest, and it isn't either good or evil.
Exactly. Almost all Human motivation is ultimately rooted in some form of selfishness or another. And whether or not it is considered “evil” depends entirely on other people’s opinions about it (meaning that morality is subjective). This is an issue that I’ve brought up several times in my own blog.

Bravo and well said, PrimaryErn !
