Goodass,
You smell correctly. Maybe you're smelling some "Good Ass."
Sorry, couldn't help making the joke.
Have you heard of a term called "Enlightened self-interest?"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_self-interest
You said you smell selfishness. How I would reply to that is to say again: you smell correctly. I would say: Acting in your self-interest is not always a bad thing. The essence of Capitalism is about acting according to your self-interest. Are you against Capitalism?
If my brother's home in the country/villages/ mountains is clean, then he will live there. And I will take my family from the city to go visit him during Summer holidays. Kathmandu is very hot in the Summer.
If my other brother's home in the Terai is clean, then he will live there with his family. And I will take my family from the city and go to visit him in the Winter holidays. Kathmandu is so cold in the Winter.
And if my home in the city is working properly, then both my brothers in the Mountain Village and the Terai can send their children to live in our apartment in Kathmandu.
My brothers and their family are always welcome to my home in the city. My brother can come and live in my apartment anytime he has work to do in Singadurbar. Or if he wants his children to get education in the city, he can always send my niece and nephews to Kathmandu. They can live with me and play and talk with my children and go to school. After all, what are brothers for? I would be happy to do this for my nephew and nieces because they are part of my greater family.
If my nephew and nieces become stronger, then my family as a whole becomes stronger.
Wouldn't it be great if both my brother and I have clean homes in the village and in the city? Think about how much more options we will have then. Right now we are all trying to crowd in my tiny apartment in Kathmandu. It is uncomfortable and unhegienic for all of us. None of us are fully happy with the current solution.
So, by helping my brothers out, not only would it clean up their homes, but in the long run, it would improve relations in the whole family. And the family as a whole would have a lot more options.
That is called "Enlightened self-interest"
