I am a selfish man and not afraid to admit it, yet I found the comparison to Carruthers so blatant I could not help but offer my assistance with pity. After all, I too longed after someone I could not have. I knew the reassuring power of a simple presence. If that’s selfishness then I grasp it with both hands

Carruthers is a selfish man.

I love the reflexive, circular nature of that line. He selfishly claims his selfishness, because anything else would mean letting go of the one thing -- one person -- he wants most.

Well done!

Selfish, yet selfless too in applying what he knows of himself and of pain to another's benefit. Nice!
