For instance, a guy in front of me ran out of gas while I was on my way to the dentist. I stopped, gave him a ride to a gas station...took him back to his car, and helped him get on his way.Why? Well, many reasons. 1) someone I care about may be broke down and if that guy sees them he may recall the time somone helped him. 2) I may do a job interview and he may give me an edge based on my character outside of work.I believe that pure self interest causes people to act in a manner that benefits society. People who opt for the quick gain are not acting in their best self interest.</blockquote>
