About This Quote
There are some for whom the good of mankind is their primary concern, and others who basically put their own considerations before everyone else. I was among the latter. This is an interesting quote about people who tend to do things for themselves instead of for all of humanity. That’s certainly not a bad thing, but it does make this quote an interesting one to contemplate.
It suggests that some people are motivated by their own good first and foremost rather than helping others. That view is certainly not invalid, but it also raises the question of whether the “good” being done really is good for everyone involved.
