To demand it is to claim that your life is his property – and loathsome as such claim might be, there’s something still more loathsome: your agreement. Do you ask if it’s ever proper to help another man? No- if he claims it as his right or as a moral duty that you owe him. Yes- if such is your own desire based on your own selfish pleasure in the value of his person and his struggle. Suffering as such is not a value, only man’s fight against suffering is. If you choose to help a man who suffers, do it only on the ground of his virtues, of his fight to recover, of his rational record, or of the fact that he suffers unjustly; then your action is still trade, and his virtue is the payment for your help. But to help a man who has no virtues, to help him on the ground of his suffering as such, to accept his faults, his need, as a claim – is to accept the mortgage of a zero on your values. A man who has no virtues is a hater of existence who acts on the premise of death; to help him is to sanction his evil and to support his career of destruction. Be it only a penny you will miss or a kindly smile he has not earned, a tribute to a zero is treason to life and to all those who struggle to maintain it. It is of such pennies and smiles that the desolation of your world was made.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Ayn Rand" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/ayn-rand/as-a-basic-step-of-self-esteem-learn-to-treat-as-the-mark-of-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/02f/ayn-rand-59_another-man_as-a-basic-step-of-self-esteem-learn-to_1319230.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/02f/ayn-rand-59_another-man_as-a-basic-step-of-self-esteem-learn-to_1319230.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/02f/ayn-rand-59_another-man_as-a-basic-step-of-self-esteem-learn-to_1319230.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“As a basic step of self-esteem, learn to treat as the mark of a cannibal any man’s demand for your help.
