   PSychological Egoism, and altruism are the same things... prove me wrong.

     Human mind is a machine that works in a way that makes it feel not very well when it recognizes other people suffering, and it tries to do something about it to feel better again or at least to stop feeling shitty. So i'd rather agree, no wrong-proofs 😀

     @lonelyowl I think this idea actually works on many levels, and you arent wrong.

     The other side is the selfish side. IF you act in your own selfish interests then you will **choose** to be altruistic because helping people without thought or demand of reward usually results in a higher reward!

     As contradictory as that sounds it really isnt, again, they are the same! It is amazing how two things being identical can sound remarkably similar to a contradiction :)

     @freemo I think Altruism is action whereas the other one is perhaps a similar idea. It's like theoretical vs applied.

     Maybe they are both the same and different. You might be correct and on to something deeper.
