Altruism is actually evil.
A true human altruist, like these ants, acts without regard to God out of a sterile internal determination that they have a duty to act.
There is no love in altruism, and wiithout love there is no heroism.
We often misuse the word “altruist” and apply to true heroes who are motivated by real love of neighbor rooted in God.
Referring to ants as heroes and altruists is an opportunity to drive home the distinction.
Exactly, there is no conscious intent here by the ant.
These communist ants will rot in hell.
Or whatever little disease they have enters their little brain and it gets fried. Then, insect, without a good brain, wanders away from the rest of the colony. Not thinking about God, or his grander purpose. Just wondering what all of the hullabloo about sex was. Then they die.
Sounds more like it.
Isn’t this a bit like Kamikaze pilots giving their lies to save their empire? Is this really a good thing?
