Quote: again, we have no way of accusing someone of being selfish or selfless because we don't know what they are thinking, we can only make an assumption by putting ourselves in their position. All people are selfish, and not only that, but this is obviously the most moral quality of man. To say otherwise is to go against his identity in the universe. All men go towards what they value--if you are truely selfless, you will support what you don't value which would be against your nature and [probably] against life itself. |

Every action, has a motive. Its a logical nessisty.
Belive me all alturistic actions will either be out of boredom, to alleviate a sense of guilt or due to a sense of empthy.
Then where dose alturism fit into that? |
