otherish 

This is the true opposite of selfish. Synonymous with selfless.
A selfless person thinks less about himself. But there is still some "self" in that word we use. The best way to be selfless is to be otherish. That's a more descriptive word for where we really should focus our attention. And it is a positive rather than negative word.
