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?
We are social creatures. Our brains are wired for being social. Those who are anti-social *are* abnormal.
