I have live most of my high school life with the mentality that I am the most important person for myself. It is true, it is true for all of us and we can't deny it. As much as we refuse to accept it, we are inherently selfish individuals, and that is what Fyodor is portraying in part 1 so far.
When he says to live beyond forty is "bad manners, is vulgar, immoral", he is basically part of that group since he is forty! However, due to his inherent feeling of being the most important, he does not want to admit to it, and will live on for much longer. This shows how the human mind works.
Whenever one has to answer or respond to a situation that has negative connotations to it and it deals with other people other than himself, he has the ability to allow them to be punished, suffer, or blamed for doing something wrong. On the other hand, if it has to do with himself, it is a complete different story.
Be the most important person to yourself, and stand by and protect your life since everybody else is doing the same.
