Sigh.

You are SO dense.

I do nothing because I HAVE to satisfy other people. I do the things I do, for the same reason you do, because it satisfies me to do them. It often satisfies me to do nice things for people. It satisfies me to be a good citizen and obey traffic laws even when there are no cops in sight because I choose to be the kind of person who does that. It satisfies me not to urinate in the grocery store aisle because I believe it to be the right thing to do, and also because it satisfies me not to subject myself unnecessarily to public disapproval.

There is nothing new in this philosophy, and your pretense that there is either is very ingenuous or shows a remarkable lack of high level reading on your part.

It is sad that all this even has to be explained to someone who pretends to be educated.
