Yes, that's what I was going to say, Mr. Bubbles, except that I couldn't figure out how to say it. It's like the pleasure you get from seeing others happy is a side effect, a bonus. It's not the purpose for you doing the good deed, at all. Kinda like the karma theory - do good and good comes back around. While that may eventually be the case, I don't do good deeds *just* to have it come back around. When it does come back around I am appreciative, but if it never came back around, I'd still try to do some good deeds anyway.
