If we were selfish

Ever thought if one were selfish,
and all you ever did was for yourself?
I often wonder, if all we ever did, was for our own benefit,

In the way we help for the profit of a good impression,
and then we become humble,
denying any profit.
and in this way,
gaining the profit of a good impression.

Do out minds automatically plan ahead 2 steps,
first to seem humble to others,
then to humbly boast.

Do we help and love our friends,
and claim that we are do it unconditionally,
when the condition is that the friend brings joy.
We give because we receive.
Won't it be really hard to love a loved one unconditionally.

And this would show that therefore,
it is easier to love an enemy,
to not be self-centered,
because this love would seek no return.

or would it be meerly love seeking a
return but receiving none?
