"Are all actions in life based on interest only"?
#37
RE: "Are all actions in life based on interest only"?
Qualitative/quantitative.

If we distinguish between acts that lead to financial gain and those that do not, we are not engaging in fantasy. There really is a difference, measurable in quantaties of USD(in the example), between them. Though... you bring up a good case for qualitative difference. If a quantitative gain is incindental then it doesn't really make sense to say that we did the thing for the quantitative gain, eh? Thus, there is a qualitative difference between such acts and those engaged in explicitly for such gain, by definition.

What is word.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
