We may find it hard to embrace selfishness wholly, but in preserving our existence we insure others existence. Sometimes we need to be reminded this. We have all listened to a preflight instruction given by a flight attendant. He says, “When the oxygen mask falls, mask yourself first then mask your child.” The flight attendant never says why, but the conclusion is always drawn that if we are not breathing, then we are of no help to our child. Profiteering is analogous. In order to provide relief to disaster victims, there must be pools of surplus money. Those pools come from those who profit, and not from those who live hand to mouth.

There is such a thing as a true universal morality. Because it is a morality, we must hold each other accountable to following it. This morality is to gain power by picking the best choice. The best choice is the ideal choice, which brings about power to oneself, without steeling from others. Profit is aligned with this universal morality, because it does just that. Profit enables the individual to gain power, and it is not theft. Profit is inherently based on the relationships of individuals. This brings about opportunities for symbiotic relationships, which are ideal. The idea of ideal is aligned with the universal paradigm, because it is focused on a singularity. The singularity lies in that idealism connotes one best choice. This one choice’s product is optimal functionality.
