Is anything in life actually selfless? Or does every action have some selfish intent?
Last week, I talked about why I've been posting less on social media, especially in regards to my personal life because in reflection, I often felt the personal posts had selfish intent and less value add (i.e. there were certain years I posted on my birthday to show a good picture of me and see how many max likes I could get). And overall, lately I've been feeling I want to go more towards posting things of value add.
Someone followed up with me on the video and asked me the following:
"I really appreciated you sharing why you’ve been posting less overall on social media, especially with regards to your personal life.
I have a question though - you talk about only wanting to post stuff that comes out of pure intent and joy. That’s quite a high bar to set for your relationship with posting on social media.
I’m curious, do you think we should all be holding ourselves to that standard? And how do we define what is deemed pure positive intent and unselfish? Aren’t those terms individually defined?"
In this vlog, I answer these questions and I also talk more about selfish vs. selfless action.
