Your wish to fulfill your desire is a form of egoism. I am thinking about the philosophical discussion of altruism. Doing something because it is a responsibility might also be problematic in the same way that altruism is problematic.
It was "reflects individual virtue" I felt was not a correct description if there was a large part of egoistical thinking involved. But maybe I am using another definition of "virtue" than was intended.
