I'm not sure if there really is true selflessness. I think, for example, for me to even understand what's happening in this text exchange, I'm trying to imagine how you interpret the words while also recalling how I interpret the words and comparing the two. I'm trying to imagine how you're feeling, while also paying attention to how I'm feeling.

It just seems to be a pretty constant (if not always there) comparison and harmonization.

In other words, how are we supposed to understand the world without relating it to our experience?
