Is there such a thing as a truly selfless act?

    • ...AND I do it because it's the right thing to do. Because my daughter is only three years old, has Down Syndrome, had open heart surgery at three months old and has struggled to do absolutely EVERYTHING that 'normal' people take for granted. Like eating for example, I'm sure you find it easy to chew and swallow your food. Imagine having to learn how to chew and swallow because you've been dying for the first six months of your life and have been fed through a tube. I do it because my daughter has been through enough and doesn't dererve to now feel abandoned by her father.

      Some people live wonderful cushtee little lives where they don't understand that somethings you just do because it's the right thing to do. I don't want a pat on the back, feeling 'Proud' is the last emotion I have felt since seperating for my husband, I just wanted to convince you that the act existed.

      • Not convinced that you have dis proven his point. You say that you do it to keep YOUR child happy to stop her suffering because YOU think its right and YOU wouldn't want her to grow up without a dad.

        I think what you do is amazing but i think a little bit of self awareness in every act. Its probz like 99% Selfless and 1% self
