The reason why we experience personal selfishness (and everything that goes with it including isolation, unhappiness, emptiness, loneliness etc.), is so we can come to know bestowal (and everything that goes with it including unity, happiness, fulfillment, connection etc.)
We learn from opposites, first we experience personal selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves), then we experience bestowal (seeking to benefit others). Our time of being immersed in personal selfishness is over, it's time to connect in mutual bestowal.
In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
