I completely agree with the paragraph, and as Fruedish as it was, it is right. We reached the same conclusion in English class, no matter what you do, you do it for yourself. When you donate to charity, it's because you feel bad for the people in danger, so you give money to help them, but you do this to mend your own heart, and not theirs, even if there's was the inspiration. Everything you do is as a service to your own feelings, even if the instinct feels entirely selfless. True selflessness is fighting against your feelings, and whenever a person has been told do to things like this, or has experienced things like this, that person feels totally unnatural; inhuman.

So whenever something is truly innatural, like Hal said, smothering a grenade with your body, you're beyond the point of humanity.
