The truth is, I think we are a self-less society, not a self

Summary

This quote suggests that society today is self-less rather than selfish, but it is not necessarily due to genuine altruism. It implies that people are preoccupied with their own lives and obligations, leaving little time for intentional acts of kindness or consideration for others.
