What if our interests and desires have everything to do with helping others?  A little playing devil's advocate, perhaps.  Egoism is just a means of counter-acting socialist or communist ideals, where they force you essentially to act for the means of the state or the people, not yourself.  There has to be a middle ground in this somewhere.  The thing is, that kind of perfect balance is nigh impossible to reach.  This is what I think humanity is working towards."}
