Outside marketized relationships like boss-underling, employer-employee, and salesman-customer? Pretty much no one who isn't an Adam Sandler villain.

- joe_the_user 8y agoIt's a tough thing to express. Certainly, we feel like good people are ones who aren't simply calculating a benefit. But that doesn't mean people don't expect a benefit, it's just that the people we admire expect it without crudely calculating it. I'd say in a lot of ways, a person entering into a relationship expects benefit and expects to form an "us", a commonality, a partnership, with their other, so that what benefits is "us", the common group, and not simply the individual as a completely separated entity unconcerned with the other.
