Considering the fact the doing good will not earn you anything in anyway and that if you are not a millionaire or billionaire your good acts won’t matter at all.
What’s the point?
I had seen with my own eyes good people being manipulated and fucked because they did something good, on the other hand it’s pretty rare for evil people to face any consequences.
Why should I restrict my free hands with ethics and why should I think about it?
Just a note: I am a deist, so I don’t believe that doing good will get you anything in the after life.
Right now in society grifting is the sole way to make a comfortable living. I refuse that path because I believe that this is a reflection of a deeply broken society and work to support those people around me that I can.
This isn’t a case of “if more people act selfishly it’ll become the norm” because it is the norm - the time for that thinking was in the 80s, 90s and maybe the 00s - but I will still stubbornly reject it and be economically kind when I have the option.
