Perhaps the origin of publicly proclaimed altruistic virtues and moralities originates in the herd nature of human beings. Who dares to preach putting their own interests above those of others in a group setting? A thief does not boast of being a thief in public because of the consequences of such an utterance. Who will trust him he does? For this simple reason, all public morality tends to be a necessary show where those who survive are the ones who spot who are the actors and when they act. Some, being indoctrinated with this morality from birth, mistake the show for reality and wake up only when they realize they have been duped.
