Everybody is by their nature always acting in their own best interest; and it’s only the erratic fluctuations of their human minds and the misleading beliefs they acquire in the course of their lives that lead them to their failures and unvirtuous actions. Thus, no person has any reason to feel shame, guilt, or reproach for anything he ever did, because at the time he always had a perfectly valid and justifiable reason for doing it.

— Roman Gelperin, The Master Mind of the Self-Actualizing Person
