In fact, humans are the only lifeforms, to my knowledge, that has this desire. Even some of our closest cousins, monkeys and apes, don't have an innate individual ambition. If someone wants me to spend my life serving them at the cost of expunging my individual desires, I will rebel instantly. **** that person.
every successful society subjugates the desires of the individual for the well being of the group. The most masculine trait, and the mark of a mature adult, is being able to sacrifice for the benefit of the family. Sacrifice often comes in the form of sacrificing time, a father will work endless hours at things he does not enjoy, to provide for and protect his children.
