Egoism

Egoism, my brand, is the ethical apex. It has little in common with being selfish--that is the purview of the selfless--but it has a whole lot to do with enlightened self-interest. There is no beneficial self-interest that does not involve self-development. There is no genuine endeavor to develop the self that does not require boat loads of self-discipline and self-control. By setting things right at home, the whole community is well served.
