It was a philosophical question and unfortunately I was still young and
had an engineers mentality. She thought there's no such thing as a
selfless act. Not really. There is always a self value gained. She's
probably right. I didn't have an answer for her back then and I don't
have an answer for her now.

About 15 years ago the first girl I loved asked me a question
Is there such a thing as a selfless act?

About Me
- we
- We It comes in part from an appreciation that no one can truly sign their own work. Everything is many influences coming together to the one moment where a work exists. The other is a begrudging acceptance that my work was never my own. There is another consciousness or non-corporeal entity that helps and harms me in everything I do. I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
