RE: [VIDEO] All Human Action, Including Charity, is Self-Centered and Self-Interested (and that's beautiful!)
You are right. I am a child of Christ, and I see it as my duty to be charitable. I sometimes hand out balanced meals to the homeless begging at our traffic lights. I love the reaction of these people. Even if it is only a tiny smile, it feels as if it is making MY day. Conclusion: I do it because I really want to help them, but I gain something: a reaction!
Right. It's beautiful YOU WANT to help them! That is highly refined self-interest! You would not give if YOU didn't WANT to!
