I think I have made my point that people mostly spend money on things that have some percieved benefit to themselves and not because they "care". That is a given. That is why it is irrational. The fact remains that every dollar given to you feels like someone cares. I've talked before that I do a little farming on the side. That is some of the most satisfying work I do because there are people - metaphorically - lined up to buy every last morsel I can produce. It feels like the whole world cares about what I'm doing, even if in reality they just want to satisfy their hunger. But, as I wrote earlier, we are irrational emotional beings. That feeling is what drives us, no matter how foolish it may be when looked at logically.
