Hmm, the OP reaks of guilt. Being selfish is the best way to be, but then from a place of power, one should help others. You have to become the best you then you can best help others. There is no simulacrum that will do it for you, nor is there a portal, unless you take enough bong rips...
Bottom line, helping others out of a feeling of duty usually fails to bring happiness, but I've received much happiness from helping others when it suited me. I do it a lot actually, but it was my choice.
I AM a parent. I knew when I got into it that my will would be subsumed into these little beings needs, and I made that choice from a place of power. I lived alone and single for years and it was bliss on tap by the gallons. Now, a little less bliss, but certainly fulfilling in a mature way.
