Yes. As the social animals that we are we need to devote to a certain social duty, wolves, ants, bees, penguins, you name it...any animal that lives in community look for the benefit of the colony, doing the opposite would be unnatural.

Are you saying it’s impossible for a being to act against the nature of the whole? As I think I observe this often.

Could it perhaps be that in modern society it isn’t exactly clear what benefits the whole?
