Hi Greenleaves,

Hey, we are doing some philosophy together. It's good.

I nearly agree with your point about the altruism. I know that I want to be accepted, and being nice to people helps with that, but there is something else I hope. When I see someone hurting I do feel for them, and not for me. I believe that is true, even if I'm fooling myself.

Also, if my daughter is in trouble, I just don't exist, except as part of her support system.

That's how it feels for me, anyway.

Good to talk to you, Greenleaves

M
