The highest purpose of a person's life is their own interests?  I can't find myself ever believing that.  Maybe, because of my own emotional governance, I want to believe that people have more than that to do in their lives.  I do not doubt that benefits and donations and charities will exist or not exist under this type of system; there are many private orginisations in our current society that do these things.  The idea that man is a means to himself however, seems to want to counteract some people's willingness to give and not receive in return."}
