if nobody could ever know about your good deeds, would you still do them?
imagine you could help people, donate money, be kind to strangers, forgive someone, whatever, but there was absolutely no chance anyone would ever find out.
no praise. no karma. no reputation boost. no one would even know you were the person who helped.
would you still do the same amount of good?
i'm not asking whether you think you should. i'm wondering what people actually think they'd do if there was literally nothing in it for them.
and does doing something partly because it makes you feel like a good person make the act less genuine?
