A rare trait in an influenced altruistic "at service" world
Individuals who are overly eager to be perceived as selfless may be driven by a desire for social validation or status rather than genuine altruism.
True selflessness doesn't need attention.
Performative Virtue signalling:
In an organizational psychology context, there are exceptionally rare individuals who have the true selfless trait.
What we witness commonly in the world of an organization is performative selflessness. It reinforces the idea that those who prioritize being seen as selfless may be driven by ego or hidden agenda which are the biases of the information network created in an organization for motivating employees to work towards a common goal. These are the performative Virtue signalling traps that are often enforced by the performative nature of organization.
Selfishness is path to selflessness:
The reality of "kind" or "selfless" in any social context- boils to social and organizational narrative to gain moral or statorial heirarchy. Genuine service is silent.
And here is where the paradox of "self interest" and "selflessness" can be explored. Self interest is the general state of humanity. And if one wants to truly arrive to genuine selflessness, free from ego which can lead to personal fulfillment, but this realization often comes through self-interest first.

I wonder- a lot. So, I write my wonder here. What to expect? The chaos and curiosity that my being brings. As living a human life is not bound by definitions in the macros- the posts here will be spontaneous and identity-less! I like to give and create art. So if you buy an act of creating I will use it for things that I am passionate to give for. Obviously, a little support on my art will make me feel visible.
