So I should help only because it's the "right" thing to do and not because it has anything to do with me having a personal interest and passion for the person's well-being that makes me feel good?
Because, I assure everyone here, the only reason I interact with this forum is because it feels good and I find that to be directly love. The only reason I interact with anyone and give anyone help is because it benefits me, selfishly, as their pleasure is my pleasure.
Else, one can argue I am Ayn Rand reincarnate.
And that is exactly the reason why you have no real clue as to what being an STO oriented person is really about. Nevermind the fact that you just confirmed everyone's supposition that you are self centered and immature, if you weren't a child yourself, you'd understand what it is to give without expecting anything in return.
