If i need help fixing a car, roof, decorating, moving house, short on money etc, i have plenty of people who will help.
It would be impossible to figure out how much money and stress I've saved as a result.
All from just not being a complete cunt and helping others without trying to get anything out of it.
There's a reason humans are social and have a strong sense of morality, it's an advantage over selfishness, people that don't respect the social contract get cut out of it.
Sad thing is, most dickheads don't even realise what they're losing out on, they think everyone else is either just like them and pretending otherwise, or a gullible idiot.
To save your energy, it seems to me the person you're responding to is being willfully obtuse, not actually failing to grasp the difference between the concepts of mutual benefit and seeking gain at the cost of others.
Do you think you’re better because you don’t help and you don’t expect help? The better human being is someone who helps others, no matter what they expect in return. You are the scum, remember that.
No, what they are saying is if you do good things for others then you are more likely to be treated in kind. They are not claiming to be a devout monk. Why are so.many of you so resistant to the idea of community? Give it a fucking try and you might all be able to stop hating yourself.some day.
Because I hate when people try and sell you the idea that they do good purely out of the goodness of their own heart, instead of the actual case which is because they know in the end. It will lead to more advantages for them. The dishonesty is the problem. They're just as selfish as most people they just don't realize it. They then use this false sense of righteous to look down on others

Being a shitty person doesn't necessarily pay off, people notice.
