Thanks Tim. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being unselfish, that's how life should go, but you're right, being unselfish usually doesn't work to our advantage.
I too wouldn't deny myself the pleasure of giving. Giving is the ultimate sacrifice and as long as we don't neglect ourselves in the process of giving and helping others, I believe it's the right thing to do.
Yes, I think we go back to the resentment thing. The more we live with resentment, the less we're capable of giving; even though as you say we may be in a fortunate position to give.
Although that wasn't a personal experience of mine, I do know someone close who found it difficult to give, due to emotional issues.
If I have a weakness, it is to be unselfish. As you know, that doesn't always work to my advantage, but I wouldn't deny myself the pleasure of giving.

Great quote. Those that give expecting recognition or reward ought not to give at all.
Selflessness is a wonderful virtue, unfortunately not often possessed by those in the fortunate position of being able to give the most.
