I will answer that with this😄

I believe sometimes people do things for others wishing nothing in return😄 What we do for ourselves fades quickly, what we do for others lives on in them 😄 imo good enough?-Whirly
You mean nothing in return from the person they help...or nothing in return at all?....

Re: The Spirit of Humanity is Compassion

I am not a religious person. I do though believe in certain moral codes, at the heart of my beliefs is compassion for my fellow man. I believe most people are good people, regardless of race, religion, creed, class or colour. I believe all should be equal. I also believe most people know whats right and whats wrong. I believe the real conspiracy in the world at the moment is unconscious, it is not controlled by anyone, but is a product of advertising, the isolationist way many of us live and work at times, and the distance we feel from each other. The result of this is a cold unloving world for many, where as long as they are OK then they no longer care about others, this was highlighted to me by the reactions of some on this board to the London bombings. They are cash rich but emotionally poor.Am I right?
So at last you understand this fishy😄
The Real Nietzsche and his real views on morals
"My brother, when thou hast a virtue, and it is thine own virtue, thou hast
it in common with no one.
To be sure, thou wouldst call it by name and caress it; thou wouldst pull
its ears and amuse thyself with it.
And lo! Then hast thou its name in common with the people, and hast become
one of the people and the herd with thy virtue!
Better for thee to say: "Ineffable is it, and nameless, that which is pain
and sweetness to my soul, and also the hunger of my bowels."
Let thy virtue be too high for the familiarity of names, and if thou must
speak of it, be not ashamed to stammer about it.
Thus speak and stammer: "That is MY good, that do I love, thus doth it
please me entirely, thus only do _I_ desire the good.
Not as the law of a God do I desire it, not as a human law or a human need
do I desire it; it is not to be a guide-post for me to superearths and
paradises.
An earthly virtue is it which I love: little prudence is therein, and the
least everyday wisdom.
But that bird built its nest beside me: therefore, I love and cherish it--
now sitteth it beside me on its golden eggs."
Thus shouldst thou stammer, and praise thy virtue.
Once hadst thou passions and calledst them evil. But now hast thou only
thy virtues: they grew out of thy passions."
If you didn't get that...here's it for short...if you have your morals like them, but they are for you not for anything else, have your virtues because you want them......
Unfortunately he takes the view humans are intrinsically selfish and create morals from this selfishness (a very christian point of view). Rather than the other view equally valid from people like Lao Tzu, Gandhi, Eiestein that people are naturally selfless it is the material world that makes them selfish. I didn't bother arguing this point yesterday.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you. - Lao-Tzu

They are not pro Nazi..since the Nazis didn't exist back then...and why did you do it although you read his book...you know what way he meant it and you still take his passages out of context..it is just pathetic....
