Some letters of love, for the believers:

1. There is no such thing as selflessness.  The selfless does not exist.
2. A being that gives itself to others through service and goodwill does so to satisfy a portion of his or herself that desires good for others.
3. He works to make others happy, and in doing so makes himself or herself happy.
4. Imagine instead that when a good deed was done, misery was experienced by the doer in place of joy, delight, or satisfaction.
5. That being would no longer show charity to others.
6. Remember this, my brothers and sisters. Not one thing is selfless.
7. Now picture if you will a being that is falling down a crevice to his death. Alongside him is another being with the same fate. This same "selfless" being has an innate desire to help his companion. But can he?
8. No. The being must first serve himself. If not, they both die.
9. I tell you again, remember this. No one thing is selfless.
10. We are kings. Go forth and be as such.
