Should we be selfish?

True selfishness is the path to inner richness; only when you are fulfilled can your sharing be a natural overflow, not a duty.

— Osho
According to Osho, true selfishness—loving and fulfilling yourself first—is essential; unselfishness without inner richness is hypocrisy and harm, the blind leading the blind. Become joyful, silent, content; then sharing flows naturally, not as duty but as overflow. Give from abundance, not emptiness; the receiver even blesses the giver. He rejects moralistic altruism and affirms spontaneous sharing.

Fill yourself with love and joy first, then helping others happens easily and kindly instead of forced and clumsy.
