| Johann said: Oh, please. If you're not that fond of your mother, it makes it even worse. "She needed help so I helped?" If you had no emotions at all about the situation you simply wouldn't do it. Do you need proof? Okay, here it goes: You telling this story to a total stranger on the internet makes me think that you're either proud to have done this and feel good about yourself, or you're disappointed that she ended up not sorting out her problems. Maybe part of the reward you were expecting was to see her get back on her feet, and now that she hasn't you feel a little cheated, I seriously don't know. Either way, you're not completely emotionally indiferent to the situation. You wouldn't do this if you were. |
why is it so hard for you to take in?
i don't need a total stranger on the internet to tell me (wrongly) what my justifications were for doing something, i wasn't telling you the story to make me feel proud or whatever, i wasn't just coming online shouting "hey guess what i did today?!?!". i told you the story to back up my claim that some people do a good thing because its the good thing to do.
why are you so difficult?!
BOLD: i already told you, some people don't do things for any sort of reward. the fact that your last post was entirely based on my predicted reward suggests to me that you don't read an argument properly, or maybe you're just too stubborn to accept the alternative to your own argument.
