Yup. Do into others as you would have done to you does not mean starve for others. Don't be a dummy. If your neighbor needs his lawn mowed, include his when you mowe yours. If your neighbor has a bad attitude and hates everybody leave him alone like he wants. In the end it is up to you and me to get what we need. It isn't pride or jealousy to expect better.

Read “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand. That creepy little Jewess predicted all this shit we see now 80 years ago.

I'm not religious, but IIRC, there's a commandment that says "Love thy neighbor AS THYSELF" not "MORE THAN THYSELF".

This is what petty, little, spiteful people tell themselves to justify in their own mind their lying, cheating, and double-dealing. It's bullshit. And it's a lie.

You are free to hold that view, but how much can you accomplish only serving the interests of others?
