altruism [Theme] Page 5

It bothered me: a black magician altruist lay beyond my notions of good and evil.

Any maturation starts only after we stop lying to yourself, what about us someone cares and that we care about someone. All that man does, he does only for himself. And altruism is called rational egoism. Altruism does not exist as such.

Wealth abundance their accumulation, and spiritual - of their hand.

When I see a wealthy and attractive young man squanders their money on the downtrodden of this world, I can hardly believe in pure altruism, no matter what a colorful wrapper that neither was served. After all, if it comes to that, and I know how to be charming, innocent personality, and we all know how this image corresponds to reality. Isn't it?

- ... You risk your wellbeing for the sake of the maiden, whose value is confined to a narrow ankle, and blue eyes.
Gray.
- Even more so. Because of children she has given birth? So you almost altruistic.

That spent on others is never wasted.

Don't be shy, they give little. Nothing to give - much less.

We must teach our children altruism, since it cannot be expected that it is part of their biological nature.

I'm happy to see young people that know what's new. Well, but my thought is is that just more notice and recognize watching our young generation.

When asked: "How to make sure that I was okay?" - it is not a philosophy, and selfishness.
When asked: "How to make so that all was well?" - this is not the philosophy of altruism.

Altruistic good deeds don't exist.

Confusion in ethical views about what the level should end to altruism at the level of family, nation, race, species, or all living things, is reflected as in a mirror, in a parallel muddle in biology with respect to the level at which we should expect manifestations of altruism in accordance with the theory of evolution.

Recently there has been a rejection of racism and patriotism and a tendency to the object of our fraternity was all of humanity. Such a humanistic extension of our altruism leads to an interesting consequence, which, again, apparently, supports the evolutionary idea of "the good kind". People who hold liberal political views, which are usually the most staunch advocates of "species ethics" often Express the greatest contempt for those who went to your altruism a little further, extending it to other types. If I say that I'm more interested in protection from extinction of large whales than improving the living conditions of the people, I'm shocked that some of his friends.
The belief that members of your own species deserve special protection compared to members of other species, has long been deeply rooted in man. To kill a man in peacetime is considered a very serious crime. The only action by which our culture imposes a more severe ban, is cannibalism (even in the case of eating of corpses). However, we eat other species.
