Selfish.

Observations :
  • Gandhiji was a great freedom fighter .
  • Paris Hilton is a very active socialite.
  • Mother Teresa did a lot of social work .
  • My roomie , Dhiresh is very good at business matters .
Inference:
  • Gandhiji did what he did because he wouldn't have been happier doing anything else .
  • Paris Hilton wants to become more and more famous .
  • Mother Teresa wanted to change the world into a better place as much as she could .
  • Dhiru likes to read about businesses , stock market , etc .

Conclusion :
EVERYONE IS SELFISH . PERIOD .
Gandhiji , Mother Teresa , Paris Hilton , my roomie , you , me , everyone do what we do because we want to do it for ourselves . Say , we give 10 rupees to a begger . We do it more to satisfy our conscience rather than to feed the beggar . The fact that these two points are connected is a different matter to be discussed somewhere else . Anyways , my point is every single action in this world can be deconstructed to signify an act of selfishness .



Added After a few days of posting this , the following is what my bro had to say on this:

"This deconstruction is pointless. I could counter it with - there are different kinds of selfishness. The selfish being that hurts a heart. A selfish act that causes negligible pain or damage. A selfish person who massacres millions of people. A selfish person who feeds a hungry person. A 'selfish' person who has such a profound effect on humanity that it changes the very perception of life. Therefore, there are two extremes and between those lie infinite degrees of selfishness to choose from."
