You can ask the very same question to the murderer mentioned in the OP. From his point of view, murdering his victim would result in a more profitable situation than not murdering him. Whether he made a miscalculation and regretted his actions afterwards does not matter, because at that very moment he too asked himself "Why would I not murder him?" and came to the conclusion that murder would be more profitable than anything else.


what about a 2 year old who  finds his dads gun and accidently shoots his father. He never had an intention of killing him for real. he thouht he was playing.

also not every decision we make is for profit. sometime we feel cmpassion for people and want to help out. LIke a bum on the street or sposoring a 3rd world child etc...


Helping people out makes (most of) us feel good about ourselves. That positive feeling is the profit, and for most it has a higher value than financial profit.

 

Not sure why you dragged a 2 year old into this.


Exactly the key word being most people, some just do it without thinking that it will make t fill good inside. They may be in a good mood at the time  and just dont care if they give somone a few dollars to help them out.
