“Refraining because of concern for their welfare is.” (altruistic)
I haven’t been drinking tonight, so i can’t follow this at all.
Wow. Talk about not getting it. I'd say it's hard to believe but considering who I'm conversing with I guess it's not.
One doesn't refrain from taking other peoples things by force or fraud out of some misguided concern for their welfare. One does because that's the morallly correct thing to do and for no other reason.
It's also in your own, rational self interest "selfishness" if you will, because if you engage in that sort of behavior by extension then everyone else can. If that happens your society ends in ruin and slaughter.
