Njoro’s day is off to a bad start when he gets a problematic client.

On one of his rides, Njoro meets a client who challenges his views that human beings are inherently selfless by putting forth the argument that human nature is fundamentally selfish and that each man exists for his own sake, and the achievement of his own happiness is his highest moral purpose.
