To add, no one is saying that people are not always in inner conflict with their desire to do good, and their desire to help themselves selfishly. That inner conflict does exist. But to say the latter is always dominant in all of humanity is where we differ.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
