That is a Wonderful perspective, but I don't believe being 'jaded' is ever the answer and I think you agree with the rest of what you've said.
People are indeed selfish, self-consumed and generally and honestly, not much better than the primates we originated from. But there are a few, even if not "star children" or whatever that want to make the world a better place, even at their own expense.
Don't be afraid to expense that. Ever. He should use his hyper-awareness to his advantage and obvious kindness to be the best person he can be.
