"Men have been taught that the ego is the synonym of evil, and selflessness the ideal of virtue. But the creator is the egoist in the absolute sense, and the selfless man is the one who does not think, feel, judge or act. These are function of the self." AYN RAND>

That is nonsense. Said like a true sociopathic perosnality.

Selfless men are usually our good ones. The strong who help the weak, like civilized societies do:

A friend of mine ends his posts as such:

"The most certain test by which we can judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities. - Lord Acton (John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton), historian (1834-1902)

Above all we can think, and we can act in a totally selfless way. Most of us do it all the time because it is right for the individual and the tribe.
