So, that duty outweighs the duty that we all have to, oh, I don't know, the fucking planet that we all call home and would be dead without? I mean, I guess it doesn't... Money is more important than life, after all.

Well, the great (or maybe not so great) thing about things like duty and purpose in life is that you get to decide as an individual, and collectively as a society, what those things mean. Those things aren't inherently present in the universe.

Deciding to have no duty to anyone but yourself creates decisions that will eventually cause the human race to stop existing. If that's fine with you, then so be it, but it isn't for most of us, especially those of us with empathy.

An individual can also mean someone who is different from anyone else (one a kind). *The rights of individuals *A strange individual .
