RE: "Show Humanity" - Contest

in Ecency2 years ago

What is wrong is wanting personal reward, whether it be payment in HIVE, or social praise for "assisting" others. It puts the motivation in question.

If someone truly wants to help another, they do it out of empathy alone, not needing any witnesses, praise or reward.

To earn reward, payment or praise from sone one else's misfortune is to profit from their suffering. That's hardly caring or empathetic, rather cold and calculating.

It's just an initiative I decided to take. No one is obliged to join.
I don't want to repeat my opinion from another comment, but not all people are looking for personal gain or fame. Yes, nowadays most people are like that, but not everyone. It is these betrayals that make us look out for ourselves more and forgetting about the others. So, I completly understand you. 🙂
