Quote:I think I see what you mean. To give and give and give but never feel appreciated, correct? You are so very correct that I have never experienced that. I actually think and consider and not give "give" blindly. Smile Allow me to explain.
To give to feel appreciated, for reward (such as heaven) or to avoid pain (such as hell) is self interest. I'm not saying this is necessarily wrong*. I AM saying it's the antithesis of altruism. I get fed up with self righteous theists claiming a non existent moral high ground.
*Imo self interest becomes immoral if I meet my desires by harming others. (I do not conflate 'desires' with 'needs')
