Non Sumptus Labora Est

My name is Arleth (pronounced Ar-let). A 20 something year-old gal with an 80 year-old soul. A dreamer, a realist, a gentle heart, a coffee addict, and a futbol fanatic. Full time optimist, part time pessimist. I still believe in the romance of fountain pens and printed books.

If a selfless person does something that is quite selfish, does that make said person a selfish person or is it just a selfish act? Or does each person have an allotted amount of selfish deeds before getting screwed over by karma?
