We are born depraved, and that means we are selfless, join and despise the self. Other-interest is what makes us tick. Being altruist makes us selfish, passionate, emotional beasts.
Still, there is natural, weak but natural goodness in us. We can become individualistic, individual-live, inidivudate and love the self. Once the self is loved by the self, one has become wholesome, virtuous and loving. This is how one comes to love all others. The good individual is a child of the Mother. She can count on him to stand by her, defend her interests and remain loyal and steadfast.
Being egoistic makes us enlightened in our self-interest, yet generous, rational, logical and angelic.
Still moderation dictates that as we develop the angel in ourselves, we nourish the beast too because so much of our nature is pure animal, right out of nature.
We are born depraved, which indicages that we are altruistic more than individualistic, or altuist/egoist.
As we grow as moral creatures, we have learned to control and discipline ourselves so that we become civilized/natural and artificial/spontaneous creatures that are now good and good most of the time as egoist/altruists are.
