Think about it for a second?
The one thing 'religion' teaches is be selfless at all times, in everything you do. This is in direct contradiction, to simply living life. You cannot live a selfless life and my life isn't selfless. My life is self-interest, so as to self-grow, which I understand leads to spirituality.
By doing for others, I get a joyous feeling. Why? Because, I no longer see my life, through the eyes blindman. For a great number of year all I have done is watched people. The human is incredible to just watch? When you see both sides of them is when it gets interesting. One side- they are calm, proper(meaning polite) and generally great to get along with - then you have those who's views are extremely negative? It oozes out of them.
I'm only looking to grow. I figured by being interested in that growth, then I could make my actions be selfless, so I can be steady and not faulter as often. I won't be selfish, that's for sure.
