What does it say about us that we're able to eschew the modern-day pragmatism of chasing a dollar of bending over backwards to please the powers that be in favor of doing things just because we like to do them? Maybe that at least most of us aren't as selfishly motivated as we think? Our lives are constantly exhausting, to the point that we often equate time spent doing nothing as the only "good time" one can have. But the fact is that we're supposed to like actually doing things. And doing things for no reason other than helping someone else can be pretty nice.
As miserable as other people can make us, and as meaninglessly complex life can get, it's at least a good reminder that doing good things for other people actually makes us feel good. It's really not that complicated. To test your moral mettle, indulge in the shopping cart theory of morality. For some wholesomeness, here's a tumblr thread ageless matriarch that is mamaw or this twitter thread on this movie theater's favorite customer.
