People say going after money is 'selfishness'. Is this language correct? Are we our bank accounts? Going after money is moneyishness – not 'selfishness'. When we go after money, we go away from ourselves. So going after money is the opposite of selfishness. It is anti-selfishness – or at best, false selfishness.
We are not our bank accounts. Then what are we? What is our essence? Our essence is our strength/potential. To achieve happiness, we must discover our strength/potential and do the work that uses our strength/potential. In other words – we must reject false selfishness (going after money) and embrace true selfishness (doing work that uses our strength/potential).
The problem in the world is not selfishness. The problem in the world is false selfishness. And the solution is true selfishness.
