Quote:Schopenhauer's moral theory proposed that only compassion can drive moral acts. According to Schopenhauer, acts of compassion eye only the good of the object of the acts, that is, they cannot be inspired by either the prospect of personal utility or the feeling of duty.
Pretty much meaning what my heart wants gets balanced against what my stomach and my brain wants in every instance. Often enough it pleases me to please others. I'm definitely no Kantian.
