Me, Myself, I and Us?

Is there ever such thing as purely impartial? The fundamentals of life are always there, but we always seem to pull them toward our persona. Can anyone ever truly see what life’s all about in their first-person perspective? Now, we can jump out of our suit and see things from the eye of another no doubt, but even then we’re stuck with how we interpret it. Now with this in mind, what can (if anything) be considered universally selfish?

I mean, it’s not our fault that we’re moles: stuck in this form of “tunnel vision”, but is there a line where one can refrain themselves to only his or her “tunnels”, and be considered selfish? Again, seems like a matter of opinion than fact, but at the same time, is it even worth acknowledging and pondering? Like I said before, the fundamentals of life are unanimous, and because of that alone, we grow by learning through ourselves. So at the same time, can the word “selfish” even exist, for no matter how much we take in from outside, we’re still ourselves.
