Then it's not selflessness. Words are tools and I now know more about your use of the term and I can work with that. But the word is selfless. Homeless is without a home. Remorseless indicates no remorse. — Bylaw

I see what you mean. Yes perhaps it's more appropriate to use the term self and merely expand its borders rather than call it selfless.
True selflessness would be to try and rescue everyone, get hated for it by the most selfish people, and thus annihilated, martyred, murdered for your attempts to unify society, and do this knowing exactly what would happen to you. Now that, the sacrifice of the physical self to imbue wisdom into others, that is probably termed "selflessness" based on fate.
