Not Because It (Feels Like It Is) The Right Thing To Do. That Is A Selfless Act.

so we're bending the rules now?

altering definitions?

even your status is stupid for the sake of seeming on a different higher level than everyone else. you're a hipster.

Me and my boys work van broke down a couple weeks ago. And as soon as we got out to push it on the curb. Four lads ran over and helped us. Literally the second we got out.

You're telling me all 4 of them were putting their selves in our shoes?

No they seen we broke down. Seen the traffic behind and ran straight over to help.

I wasn't implying that everybody goes through that exact same mental process of putting themselves in another's shoes. It was just an example of how people's motivation for doing good somehow ties back to themselves. A lot of us help people out everyday without giving it much thought. We don't even think of it as doing anything special, just showing common courtesy because that's how we were raised. My point is you're still responding to something within yourself that has you on auto-pilot to jump in and help people without giving it much thought. That's self-consideration!

@Jason i definitely understand where you're coming from...all in all i feel like as long as you didnt do a good deed for tha SOLE purpose of self gain then it is still a good deed, and that tha self interest to genuine care ratio determines every situation...tha fact that you even worry about wether or not your doin good for tha right reasons should let you know where your heart is at
