Bill Gates is one of the biggest philanthropists in the world and has given over $28 billion to charity. You can say what you want about Microsoft, but there is no denying that his share went to do some good. I wouldn't be shocked to see Gates make huge donations if needed.

A person's heart is more important than his actions.  After reading Gilgamesh's last post, this sound rather typical, and I wouldn't doubt that the intentions were for personal gain and not for the good of humankind.  Never sell out.

Yeah, I'm sure the evil mastermind is tweeting for bing in between donating $10 billion for giving vaccines that will eliminate the suffereing of millions.

 

I'm not ignoring the physical positive results of one's action.  But let's put it like this.  Let's say I volunteered to help paint your house with no strings attached.  I committed my time and efforts as a sacrifice in assistance to you, doing a very fine paint job.  But let's say I did the same, but my intentions were to get closer to your mother.  Even though the outside of the house looks great, you'd probably have less respect for me for doing things for the wrong self-serving reasons.  That's all I'm saying before we start blindly putting people on a pedestal.

Worst analogy ever.
