Well, of course. But there's bothering and BOTHERING. Let me give you an example: I will often squash a deer-fly or a mosquito because a) they hurt and b) they can infect me with disease. However I live quite comfortably with dust mites and spiders and we never bother each other. I consider myself *at least* altuistic enough so that, if given Ultimate Power, I would leave lesser beings to thier own devices. And that is the least altruistic I can imagine myself being... anything more than that is a *win* for humanity, and some people think that even *that* would be a win.
