I just don't do it because I am afraid of hell or because i want some reward. I do it because I *care*.
The essence of 'good' is being able to care about others and think through the consequences of your actions. have some compassion.
And those are *human* emotions and motivations.
No afterlife or deities required.
That makes sense. But what makes you care? Why is it considered abnormal not to care about others?
Because I have empathy, just like I assume you do.
