"...This does not mean that he is indifferent to all men, that human life is of no value to him and that he has no reason to heolp otheres in an emergency. But it does mean that he does not subordinate his life to the welfare of others, that he does not sacrifice himself to their needs, that the relief of their suffering is not his primary concern, that nay help he gives is an exception, not a rule, an act of generosity, not of moral duty, that it is marginal and incidental--as disasters are marginal and incidental in the course of human existence--and that values, not disasters, are the goal, the first concern and the motive power of his life."
