someone other than yourself

is it really possible to live a life for the benefit of someone other than yourself?

isn't all economic theory based on the theory that we are self-interested individuals?

isn't that the basis of capitalism, or even democracy?

is it simply intrinsically nonsensical?

if everyone did this, wouldn't the world go to hell?

how is it then possibly the great secret to true happiness? or is it simply the greatest way to delude ourselves?
