I almost to the point....

"It's all about you."

Yep. Just as, from your standpoint, it's all about 'you' (your morality, your ethic, your notion of what is 'good' and 'true' and 'just'), making you as self-interested/selfish as me.

"How about "family"?'

Fuck 'em. There are huge segments of my extended family I despise (the feeling is, of course, mutual)...they get nothing...not a 'break': nothing...hell, I wouldn't piss on any of them to put them out if any were on fire.

I extend 'breaks' to those I love.

*shrug*

But, of course, all this hooey about 'breaks' and 'family' and whatnot has nothing at all to do with "We're a community, and I'm willing to give as well as take" unless you wanna conflate 'family' ('the family of man'...another grand crock of shit) with 'community'.

Apples and oranges...
