altruism, part 2- a rebuttal to myself


Maybe altruism does not exist because we do not make it exist. Is this something we have create for ourselves rather than assuming that it is inherent (or not inherent) in all beings? Definitely.

Altruism is something you have to work for. Of course we don't just naturally do things for the sheer joy of helping others. We are animals, you know.

Altruism must stem from unconditional love and compassion for others and yourself (since we are all connected).

My challenge, and yours if you choose to accept it: Do a selfless act. Like, really really, selfless.
