Ah, so you thought that "I am not my brother's keeper" was a statement of
morality, when in fact it is an allusion to a classic example of immorality
in the extreme.

But... what do you mean that you meant it "literally?"  You have no concern
for anybody but yourself?  I believe that's what "I am not my brother's
keeper" means, literally.
