When we are concern with our own
gain and loss, we are driven to
maximize the gain and minimize the
loss.  While exhaustingly trying to
maximize and minimize, we will always
be uncomfortable until the outcome is
what we expect, or better than we
expect.  
A selfish life is always filled
with constant fear or uncomfortable
moments until results are achieved
.  
A selfish life is extremely stressful.  
There is no freedom because we are
completely dependent on external
conditions
.

Fear is the only outcome of
selfishness.  Peace is one of the many
beautiful outcomes of Selflessness.

Selfish only leads to self destruction
because we always reap what we sow.  
When we are selfish, all we care about
is ourselves
so we completely cut
off ourselves from the rest of the
universe
.  We are cut off from God,
because God is in everything.
 
However,
God is not in us when we are
selfish because we willingly reject God
.
The Great Divine Law of Karma is
absolutely fair and just.  We always
reap what we sow.  
Selfless
intentions returns good Karma,
and selfish intentions returns bad
Karma.
 However, when we try to be
Selfless for good Karma then we are
actually selfish.

When we are selfish, we will never find
peace
, no matter how much we try to lie
to ourselves that we are at peace.
When we are selfish we only find
conditional peace.  We are only
peaceful when we have the conditions
we desire.  Even after having the
conditions we desire, the peace will not
last.

True peace is only thru Selflessness,
because peace means no more fears.  
The only way to get rid of all the
fears is through Selfless Love.
 

Fear is the direct result of selfishness.  
When we are selfish we only care about
our own gain and loss so naturally and
automatically fear will exist.
