DS mentioned this in passing a while back. Did my birth come with some kind of obligation to the rest of you?

Nope, you have the right to be selfish. Just don't expect any help from anyone else.

If you see someone in need how do you find out if they are selfish so you can decide to help or not, eg a drowning man?
Very cold charity you are offering.

It was a smart aleck comment. Don't "expect" any help from anyone else. If you aren't willing to give, then you shouldn't expect to receive.
The true charity is the one given to those who can't return the favor.
