I expected you were this kind of person. "My purpose in life is not to make other people comfortable, it is to make me and my family comfortable.

I cannot even imagine doing something soley to make other people comfortable."

It appears there are a couple virtues you lack.

Temperance

Restraint, temperance, justice. Constant mindfulness of others and one’s surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, moderation, zero-sum and deferred gratification. Prudence to judge between actions with regard to appropriate actions at a given time. Proper moderation between self-interest, versus public-interest, and against the rights and needs of others.

Charity

Generosity, charity, self-sacrifice; the term should not be confused with the more restricted modern use of the word charity to mean benevolent giving.

Love, in the sense of an unlimited loving kindness towards all others, is held to be the ultimate perfection of the human spirit. Such love is self-sacrificial.

My purpose in life it to make the world a better place because I was here. We are just different.

Live and let live.
