Nowt wrong with either imo.
But there's more to it than that. What are you going to do the day you can't fend for yourself or need the support of medical specialists etc?
Imo people need to work together to build a better world so that individually we all live long and prosper.
The alternative is the law of the jungle.

I stated that it is my opinion, so why shoot it down?
Personally I want to get far in life and be comfortable, but how can that happen if I don't collaborate with others? As soon as I am too weak to fend for myself I'll be vulnerable to the next person out to profit from this position. Likewise, for the help I seek I must offer it in return else we all decide to just live for ourselves and anarchy prevails as it did during the London riots.
I had severe dental pain last week. I would still be in agony if I lived in a society where no collaboration existed.
What would you do in the same position?
I ain't against profit or fox hunting, both have their place. Perhaps not at the expense of others though?

Ah, now I understand your point!
Being good is in the details rather than the general notion alone.
