“She said she’d tried so hard, and got nothing back, and I told her I knew what she meant because that was exactly how I had felt.”
A child cannot rationalize her statement about getting nothing back. But as an adult, we are supposed to do good deeds to get anything back. We do it for love, and we do it for others. If I was to donate to charity or adopt to make myself feel good, there is no point in doing it, because those who would benefit would not benefit. Only I would. Selfish people have no concept of what it is to be selfless.
