Correct.
Egoism is where it's at. The ways you "return to tradition" spout about yet knowing nothing of. Rome didn't expect you to throw your life away for fuck knows what. It gave you what you wanted and you gave it what it wanted. As it should be.
My, mine and because of me(and my kids).
Not "nation". Not "humanity". Not "ideals".

>Dostoevsky famously threw away his first draft of Crime and Punishment written in first person confession format (think Lolita) simply because writing the story this way was far more difficult and ultimately not very aesthetic.
Yeah, I know. When you write in the third- person you can actually say "He believes that, even though it wasn't true." but in the first person, it doesn't make any sense. Imagine saying "I believe this, even though it isn't true." or something like "I believe it rains outside, even though it does not." Makes no sense, right? But maybe it's precisely this that makes me more attracted to the first-person narration - because it shows the perspective and delves into the mind of the character in question and is the least similar to cinema, which just shows things in the third person.

also sauce.

>The first-person narrator is limited in knowledge.
I know, I'm just saying that it is better at describing sensations, the particular subjective mind of the character, etc.

It's more about self sacracifice and realizing that there is more to "living" than just maintaining homeostasis my dude
