1. The last vestige of egotism is
the desire for self-sacrifice.
2. The reward for self-sacrifice is self-adulation.

personal significance, the cause of much evil, error, and
pain.
4. True selflessness requires one to relinquish the desire for
power.
5. The motivations for action ought always to be joy and
love.
