The Philosophy of Selfishness and the Jones Lyceum Tale
A tale contrasts John Perkins and Edward Jones in a town. Perkins grows selfish, hoards wealth, and gives tiny sums only to the poor, while Jones funds a grand Lyceum admired by the rich. When Perkins dies, his scattered small gifts help many, yet the town regards Jones as the lasting benefactor, leaving readers to question which path is better.
