Understanding nothing is a waste of time

How can you be free from self-centered activity? Whether a parent, a book, a religious figure-head or otherwise tells you to be unselfish, this is an illusion. The idea to be selfless is just that - an idea and it’s probably created from a need to feel protected that you are doing something selfless to fulfil your own desires or ambitions. Or to avoid the fear of something terrible happening to you at the end of your life (or next).

An idea is a projection into the future - it doesn’t yet exist, and therefore it is not real.

The very wanting of selfishness or self-centered activity is itself, selfish.
