I know I would be attacked by entire fediverse, but I want to say that charity also has egoism as backing cause. People help other people because it makes them feel good. And people expect themselves to be noticed or praised or rewarded, even if they tell themselves and everyone else that they don't.
Also don't presume that I am a capitalist, before you decide to attack me.
Kind of. I agree partly. My mother used to knit winter clothes, for free, for some institutions and she wasn't the one delivering them. They never knew who she was, and she didn't bother.
Your mother was kind and intelligent enough to get satisfaction from the knowledge that she made someone's winter a bit more bearable. We should all strive to be like your mother.
