Greenwood, IN – A new book, written by Robert Villegas, represents
a new challenge to man’s understanding of one of history’s iconic moral
institutions: altruism. The History of Altruism was written as a self-enlightenment
project on the author’s part as he struggled to understand the conflict between
those who preach and practice altruism and those who consider it a moral pariah
responsible for mayhem and bloodshed. The following is a quote from the book’s
Introduction:
“Many people don’t realize that their most deadly enemy has
seldom been seen and cannot be imagined. In my view that enemy is altruism and
what is not imagined about it is that it is evil. If this is true, they are not
aware of the principles that are destroying them. They are practicing a
morality that brings only deadly results while they continue to expect things
to get better; and even worse, they consider themselves to be moral while they
are acting as their own destroyers.”
This book seeks to provide new interpretations of altruism
that set the record straight on the one aspect of altruism that is seldom
considered and that is the loss of value imposed upon the “giver”. This loss
has been experienced in a number of ways, not the least of which include the loss
of life and the decline into poverty for many people. Mr. Villegas shows the
many forms of altruism that have existed throughout history and how those forms
led inexorably to the disasters of the last century and the coming decline of
our present century. There is a way out and that way is described in this book.
