It may be a cultural thing, I'm a brit, you're like from the US, but yes over here there is a culture of altruism to a degree that may be greater than in the US (eg. over here we donate blood for free). I'm talking monetary compensation thought. On a personal level I try to help because another's happiness becomes mine.
- _-david-_ 4y agoPretty sure the majority of blood donations in the US are free (or freeish, like you might get a donut and orange juice).
- amf12 4y ago> On a personal level I try to help because another's happiness becomes mine. There you go, so you help others to feel happiness yourself. In which case, its not purely altruistic.
- zasdffaa 4y agoThere is no such thing as pure altruism, where did I say there was? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism#Evolutionary_explanations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism#Evolutionary_explanat...) I gave my own reasons, that's all. But it's not monetary. Why do people like you seem determined that nothing good can exist in other people. Your tribe turns everything to shit.
