Ye but that doesn't mean we are diminished by it.
We may have noble ideals that are part of us.
If I see the world as wonderful because it has wonderful things in it and the hairy nose wombat is a wonderful thing. So I'm off to arid regions to do what I can.

Yes I'm self serving, I'm not a slave after all.
