Isn't it better to just give to the whole and include yourself in that? Whenever you can give to others you do so and whenever you can give to yourself you do so. There's no difference.
At the lower levels I would see selflessness as being a much better way to propel yourself up the levels of consciousness. Sellfishness is prone to narcissistic delusions and attack against other people when sellfish needs are not met.
