Trust no one, love no one, and live for yourself.
They want you to think along Buddhist lines, "Service to others" and all that shit...
Not saying there isn't some truth to that whole thing, but the philosophy has been used to keep people obedient and compliant, just like any religion.
When people say you're being selfish, what they're really saying is that you are not behaving in a way that directly benefits them, and you're not making it easy for them to have authority over you.
End of story.
