Yes we care about others but not quite as much as ourselves, We are all on the scale of 1:100 on empathy with the most empathetic probably being able to put another's interest on par with themselves. Any more than that would lead to extinction of that trait. Now the real problem is our thinking that we know reality and we are the foundation of what is right and wrong or good or bad. Not one of us really knows and yet we tend to all think we know. We all certainly think we are better than average in knowing what is good for others which is not possible. Observing others is quite important ,its not what they say but what they do. Are they free with their money (saved work), are they truly kind, do they sacrifice when others are not watching, do they examinee and criticize themselves, do they need to demonize others to be good, will they sacrifice leisure and hobbies and safety for others. Are any of these things done in one sphere of life to compensate for evil in another sphere?. Independent outsiders are better at judging ones goodness than oneself. If one does not put effort into being good and talks the talk they are almost certainly below average. These are the virtue signalers: seldom good at heart (my observation) If I were to set up a business to evaluate and score ones virtue I doubt anyone would show up at the door.I think it is important to acknowledge your selfishness and go through life suspecting yourself and your motives. It is Socrates examined life. Make the changes you can and do the good works you can and relax as we were not created to be perfect
