Do you die virtually every time you fall into sleep. Egoism : In philosophy, egoism is the theory that one’s self is, or should be, the motivation and the goal of one’s own action. Egoism has two variants, descriptive or normative. The descriptive (or positive) variant conceives egoism as a factual description of human affairs. That is, people are motivated by their own interests and desires, and they cannot be described otherwise. The normative variant proposes that people should be so motivated, regardless of what presently motivates their behavior. Altruism is the opposite of egoism. The term “egoism” derives from “ego,” the Latin term for “I” in English. Egoism should be distinguished from egotism, which means a psychological overvaluation of one’s own importance, or of one’s own activities... But prior to people manisting egoism, they had no awareness atv their own time of conception, or birth and knew nothing of their existence untill age 2 to 5 years old. To get anthropic sense of humanity, we have to use world history, where record is kepted of people since the beginning of their origins. Who put people on earth, to be service for an entity,not their own egoism. What does history say about human origins.
