There are many types of selfless people and many types of selflessness in this world that can accomplish a better future that are ignored and taken for granted every day.

I met a young lady once that had lost her grandmother to illness and was left a home and a large family dowry. The sad part was, the rest of the family i.e. aunts and uncles, threatened to tie up the home and the funds in litigation for every penny until they got what they claimed they deserved. This girl was an idea of selfless. Although she was young and wished to move into her grandmother’s home and go to college with the money to better her life, she wanted not to fight the family in court over her grandmother’s positions.
