Is this belief something you derived from an experiment or mathematical proof? Humans were humans long before we developed enough knowledge to conjure the notion of ethics from thin air.
Look, the point is that the conclusions you draw from the world around you are based on the assumptions that underly your perspective. There is no objectively rational way to make these assumptions. The decision to make a commitment to rational thought isn't necessarily a rational one. The world isn't a reasonable place, and always being a reasonable person isn't necessarily ideal.
