Selfish vs. Selfless

Everyday before I get on the road for my long commute into work I pray. Why you ask? Aside from the usual, asking God to protect me on the road from all the crazies out there who don't know how to drive, I pray that God protects everyone on the road from getting into accidents. At this point you might be thinking "How thoughtful," but I haven't told you my motive behind the prayer. Yes, I don't want people dying, but my main concern is traffic. More accidents = more traffic = longer commute. Now, let's hear the arguments. On the one hand, I could be praying for no traffic which would make me Selfish. On the other hand, I choose to pray for the well being of others instead. This would mean that I'm Selfless. The question is whether the motive or the action wins out. So...Selfish or Selfless? I think that you the audience should decide.
