RE: A selfless act and other manipulations

in #philosophy7 years ago

@tarazkp I have often argued on this issue with my annoying best friend. We all act in our best interest - some interests nay not be material.

For instance, when I give, it makes me feel good and I feel like a decent human bein contributing to society. We all expect something in return one way or another

Sort:  

it makes me feel good and I feel like a decent human bein contributing to society

The majority of the time I don't feel good about it . I wonder that if I kept it I could do much better with it then they could . But I do it anyway , because of my wife she has the biggest heart . thats to individuals as far as societies go, I'm all in . Even though they have disappointed me . I will keep trying all it takes is one to make my day .

it doesn't have to be for a good feeling, it can be for the avoidance of a worse feeling. Giving so as not to feel bad.

exactly. There is always something wanted in return.
