Some very few are altruistic but that's their choice.

I know your country of origin. How many countries have you traveled to in
the last 30 years? I've worked on six continents (I don't really want to go to
Antarctica). More third world countries than you can name. I see the world as
it is, not the way I want it to be. Which leads right back to the original
reason for all of this. Some stories don't have happy endings.
