NJ tech boss Paul Caneiro condemned as ‘heartless, brutal killer’ as he’s sentenced to die in prison for murdering his brother and family

Selfishness is not murdering your family for money. That money is for use of savings and exchange. Therefore, greed is good. Now, a vicious murderer who “feels” instead of thinks is a ruthless, selfless individual who makes a mockery of self-interest.

Paul Caneiro committed a quadruple homicide of his brother, sister-in-law and their two children. The seven years that led to the sentencing of this monster is the question: what is selfishness? If you wish to ever murder anyone or rape anyone, the evil that wracks the brain is enough. (See Crime and Punishment.)

If you say that it’s greed to go after money without producing it is a contradiction in what greed means. It signifies productiveness. It shows the difference between being a billionaire and a trillionaire. Greed is a mark of money being earned.

A ruthless murderer should never be called selfish or greedy. This male’s identity should be called envious and evil instead. He should be able to see only prison walls around him for the remainder of his worthless life.

But to say he was at all self-interested or rapacious would be a slap in the face to actual people who seek to build up their own lives for themselves and their values. These are the actual selfish individuals who should be commended for their efforts. They are the greedy ones. They possess an insatiable desire for more money, more love, more life.

When those things are removed, it is the root of all evil: the hatred of the good for being the good.

Ayn Rand delineated with brilliant execution the difference between the ogre who seeks to

grab at money and consider only their way of going about life. They neglect and in fact violate the rights of others not out of selfishness or greed but out of evil and spite.

Paun Caneiro should spend the rest of his days staring at a wall not because he thought of his own self but just the opposite. He became a brute when he silenced his own family members without remorse.

His inability to deal with reality drove him to become the monster he lowered himself to be. With the ugliness of his crimes, he found himself being sentenced to four life sentences without the possibility for parole.

But he will have life. He will have three hots and a cot and recreation time. While he will not hold his liberty and be free to move about in society, he could still pursue interests that will give him a sense of living.

That’s the twisted irony. The people of his own family have no life because of him but he has all the life in the world to explore in whatever maximum security prison in which he may find himself.

But it was not selfishness or greed that fashioned the beast. Rather, it was irrationality and unselfishness. Just think about it; if the definition of selfishness means to benefit one’s life and make it better and greed stands for selecting various qualities of life and maximizing them, is Caneiro an example of this? How could he be? He threw away his chance at being rationally self-interested and seeking to get more and more from the marrow of life.

He cast away any semblance of reality and recognition of truth and proper conduct. The sentence is proper and just but it doesn’t say condemn his morality only his crimes. As he enters the space for a lifetime supply of time behind the wall, Caneiro must face his own inability to function as a human being. May he be corrected to the fullest extent for his selfless ways.
