Quote by: sdbest  Selfishness is not a virtue, and is not a characteristic of many men of ability.
FWIW, the nature of my work requires that I hire--from time to time--"men of ability" and women. You can be sure that someone with your approach to other people would never be retained by me. I'm confident that someone so self-centered and self-obsessed and so disregarding of other people as you would be unable to work effectively within a team of other "men of ability."
You might want to consider the fact that few, if anyone, has has ever succeeded at anything solely on their own efforts. For the simple reason that merit is only one of many factors that influences who and who doesn't succeed and who is rewarded or not. Even Ayn Rand needed a publisher.
I wonder what weaknesses you have that make being concerned for others so difficult--such an impossible, repugnant burden--for you.
I truly and sincerely, and without a trace of sarcasm, wish you good fortune in your lonely life.
Regards
