> If you can't prioritize (what should be) the most important of your personal relationships above what you want to do, it's unlikely that the real reason you working is because you have a surplus of love for the world.
Is having a surplus of love for the world a bad thing? I believe a lot of problems would solve themselves if we have more. Also, relationships are also something you want to do, you aren't forced into them at gunpoint.
Also the answer as it seems (without the context we don't know for sure) was dickish, but I wouldn't call it selfish. Just incredibly rude.
You misread his statement. He is NOT saying that having a surplus of love for the world is bad. He IS saying that, in the scenario he describes, one likely does NOT have a surplus of love for the world. (tl;dr - it means that person is probably just being selfish and/or self-deceiving)
