Some other part of the self tries to make the rest appear to be selfless. that’s all…
It’s like one part of the self conquers the other parts, then it says “I have conquered myself”, but it’s still the same self, just a different order of ego from then-on. It is a matter of arrangement.
You probably want to vilify your cultural morality: utilitarianism: mass-hedonism, the morality of decandence.
I think morality was a construct to fill the void where there was no need to fill the void at all as that is a human expression only. I doubt the entire existance of morality whether it be cultural or anything else.
Why You probably don’t really feel great, virtueous or noble:
Any body will go numb to banality.
Because it has always had itself, it cannot feel itself any longer.
If someone had a sound played at the same volume at the same tone for all day of every moment of life, it would eventually become something unconscious and invisible, also.
The end result is they find new people interesting, and want friends, and they do not want themselves or find themselves interesting. The ego is not their self in this case, if they mannage to amuse it; it was created through suppositions from the persons around themself.
You’ll have to define God, and immortality. The concept, though, is solid.
On the 5th floor of the Hospital in my town sits the children’s cancer unit. Some of them will make it, some won’t. Here will come an intentions vs consequences debate, but nonetheless, some children’s agony will be prolonged by virtue. Some will expire after the doctor, whose time is limited, has to focus on less risky survivors. The Doc understands which situation is really more expensive…
Therefore, at some level, you are only worth X. When your value becomes limitless, like say you are the pope and need to be treated with cancer by the children’s Doc, the relative value of all drops.
Thats why I said only God could afford such costs.
Illusion has its purpose. To negate anything that we are, is a form of hiding from the truth of what we are. And once I find out the truth of what we are I will sleflessly and selfishly give it to you, you can judge which is the greater intent
The only ones that feel better over others are those that are having more selfish than selflessness. If I help a friend why on earth would I ever think that I am over them? Ok, sibs I might because, they are pains, and being a younger one it would feel good.
Better to be under illusion than to be under nothing. Illusion is part of our survival mode or traits.

Some have not learned to define and accept that. The existance of us must be at times depend upon the sufferance of others and we at times must be the ones to offer sufferance.
The carnal will to live, and the madness of strong survival instincts – have been the main enemies of all the religious sophists whom invented “untruth” and “illusion” as morally bad concepts then stamped them onto our strongest drives for power and for life.
It was not always this way in humanity, but today we have our Christian-Plato hog-wash of a culture, pointing its moral guns at everything vital and pivital, then they fire their demand for sophistic necessitation at such a critical area. They saught to universalize and domesticate a simpler and finer carnality up into a mystical sophism. It only reached up or down half-way, resulting in a true dishonesty against what they called dishonest. What does that mean? Hate in more than once plane now.
Stones and lumps of dirt can exist more professionaly than we.
A rock can exist for a longer time, in a more stable way, nearly forever, whilst a human cannot exist for so long or so solidly.
The goal of a human is not to exist, but instead, to obtain and then to discharge a variety of the greatest extremes repeatedly in succession, up until they burn out.
After so-long I am finally beginning to understand that will-to-power which they have. And they do not will to become the most stable or sane power. In human history, it was the most insane whom got the most power, and then, they discharged it, wasted it, and died.
