Question: You said that since the basis of human nature is egoism [1], happiness is possible only in the middle line. Could you explain this?
Answer: The middle line is a state where our egoistic desires, called the “left line” are balanced by the altruistic desires of the “right line,” and we work in harmony [2] between them.
In other words, our egoism constantly helps us to work in bestowal [3] and love of others. Then it really becomes fulfilled.
