Casey Gomez said:When a person does something kind for someone else, they often feel good about themselves—and frankly, they do it precisely because that feeling is the reward. Take, for instance, why you wouldn't turn down a gift from a donor. You wouldn't want to offend them, and more importantly, you wouldn't want them to feel redundant. Humans have this innate, driving need to be useful, to feel like they matter. So, by accepting that gift, you’re actually doing them a favor by validating their sense of worth. It’s the exact same deal with altruists. They chase that "selfless" high, performing acts of charity just to maintain that internal glow. To put it bluntly, altruists are just addicts chasing a dopamine hit through good deeds. 👍

Exactly. People are completely hardwired that way. Selfishness and selflessness are just two different lines of code in the same program.

As long as there’s this lingering sense of "hope,"
nothing ever actually changes for the better,
and time just slips right through our fingers.

See, hope is a hell of a tool,
it's basically what keeps these crooked politicians in power,
along with all the shady institutions and the entire system.

I mean, why do you think the ultra-wealthy love playing the "humanitarian" card so much?
They keep the people they're ripping off feeling hopeful,
all while slashing their own taxes
and soaking up all the good press like they're saints.
It's pretty damn calculated.☕

When Pandora opened her box, all the evils escaped, leaving nothing behind but hope. In other words, hope is what lingers once the world has already been overrun by chaos—and that's exactly when you should be fighting back. It's like the old saying goes: things have always been some way, and they'll always be some way. If there were never any change, nothing would ever exist at all. Change is the only constant, whether we want it or not.
