Why, thank ye kindly, sir.

This seems to imply you are not. Perhaps you should indulge
yourself in some much needed introspections.

I _know_ there is no conflict; but to imply serving others is
the only goal is stupendendously specious.

Sounds like semantic games to me.
I don't care to indulge in such games.
