Oprah Asks: How would you pay it forward? Paying it forward is simple -- do something selfless for someone without expecting a reward. What would you do? Watch Monday's Oprah (check your local listings) and visit Oprah.com.

How selfless do you think Oprah really is? How selfless do you think you are?

Answer 1

I think it is admirable that she is using her station in life to try to be an example for people to help one another.

I don't really care how selfless she is. She could give away all of her money, but then she would sacrifice the ability to help the needy that would still exist.

It is not for me to judge whether I am selfless or not. I help others without any thought of any direct benefit sometimes, and have done so to personal disadvantage. But I do receive a feeling of pleasure by helping others, especially when I can do it anonymously and the help is effective.


Namaste.

Answer 2

I am very selfless...the difference it, you don't go around spouting it off or using it for a tax write off...and for Oprah? It is hard to take her seriously...after watching her do a show in Africa, where she gave each of the women a crisp, hundred dollar bill.....I know that was a lifetime of money to them..but come on O...build them some homes, get them the heck out of there...your millions and millions?...I don't understand I guess..

Answer 3

Oprah has reminded us of the standards of humanity and integrity in this country. The fact that she is a giver, and realizes that all the money she is capable of acquiring is not going to satisfy her soul as a member of this universe. It's a lesson to many who hoard to bully and watch devastation in our world.
She is an angel and we can all learn from her voice and her consistent resolution to care for humanity!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I pay it forward all the time. selflessness is not an issue here, but rather, if you can help do so.
