This is me as well.

My universe begins and ends with my experience of the world. I think this is true of everyone since shared consciousness is not possible.

Altruism, which is the most generous interpretation of the “want to be part of something greater” mentality, is just another experience that some people find enjoyable. It turns into selfishness when put into in practice, just like everything else, or else people wouldn’t behave that way.

This explains why it is very easy for altruistic tendencies to devolve into preaching or imposition type behaviors.

Also, that our social conventions and cultural programming value “altruism” is the first sign that something is not quite right about it.
