People only do good things for selfish reasons.

"But what if the thing they do for their self is something they do for someone else? "Nothing wrong with that. "I feel like you still don't understand my point. The reason why people do things for other people is because they want to. Their only reason is that they want to, Though they may not realize this. If someone doesn't want to, They won't do it, Which proves my point. "There was no point proven. You've said something simple. Everyone knows that people do things for other people is because they want to. This does not make someone selfish. "Yes, But they might not expect something in return from the other person. Maybe the thing they expect is to feel good about what they've done, Or they expect not to feel guilty. "This is just cause and effect. Has nothing to do with selfishness, Along with the two previous points. "What I am saying is that some people don't accept this fact, But I do. "Just like people don't accept the earth being flat, But some unfortunately do. "I have stated, Multiple times, That there isn't anything wrong with that. My argument is not "people do good things for selfish reasons and that's bad. " I'm just debating the fact. "As I've said multiple times as well, I understand that you are saying it's nothing wrong with it and it's not bad but again, As I said a few times 1. The way your arguments are structured screams that it's bad. 2. This is a debate and we are on opposing sides so I'm coming in with the mindset of you arguing your opinion and me arguing mine. Let's look at the simple fact that you are in fact saying it is human nature and it's nothing wrong at all that "People do good things for selfish reasons. " alright, But the thing is, That statement is not true. First off, That statement alone contradicts itself and secondly, Not every person on the planet applies to your 'selfish' argument/stance. I said: "Does that really constitute them not caring about the homeless person but only carrying about themselves? "You said: "Yes. They act in their own self-interest. They aren't bad for this, It's just who they are. "No, They do care about the homeless person. That's why they gave their money to them. I'd say they care more about the homeless person than themselves in this situation. I notice you said self-interest, So in this situation this means that they are not selfish, Correct? If so, Then we both agree on that. A selfish person wouldn't give their money to a homeless person. "People are genuine if they believe they are. But the underlying truth is that people do things for themselves only, Even if those things benefit others and even if they don't know it. " Are you saying no one's truly genuine? Your arguments stem from motives and doubtfulness. If a person goes to work every day, That would be them doing things for themselves so you're right in that aspect. "When people do things for others, They don't realize it, But they are doing it because it benefits them, Not the other person. "Again, This goes back to what I said earlier. These do not apply to everyone and these do not mean selfishness. Another thing, In this situation it could benefit both. A person can be doing something to not only benefit themselves but other people as well. Some celebrities pay for their fan's student loans. The celebrity feels good afterwards and for the students, It's more benefiting for them.
