selflessness
been thinking about relationships today at work (because work's slowed down a bit and because relationships are one of my favorite things to think about), and i've come to the conclusion that the #1 most desirable quality a person can have is selflessness. now, it's usually pretty hard for me to pick favorites/#1's because i like to consider all possibilities at length, but this one i'm pretty sure about. i don't think it's a trait that's pure black/white, have/don't have. i think we all fall somewhere along a continuous spectrum between selflessness and selfishness, but i find those with a perpetual and growing inclinations toward selflessness the most attractive.
