This is an introspective essay describing a difficult mental process, involving a complete questioning of one's motivation in life. Rather than condemn the author for being a narcissist, people should take the opportunity to study this excellent example of human introspection. I think a lot of people would benefit from having a close look at their goals and motivations. Seems like every other week I see a post on Hacker News about depression or burnout which could have been avoided if the author was able to look at him/herself from a distance.
