I think what I'm talking about is the energy expended. I do things....say....assist someone on cdot....becasue it does something for me. So all that lovely chatter about helping mankind really is just that.......bullshit

But action takes energy.......where does this energy come from? What makes you expend energy in one direction vs another? Is it the rewards that you get immediately? The thought of a future reward perhaps? Or do you really run around and expend energy because you simply aren't dead yet? And because you aren't dead yet doesn't explain your choices either.

Ps....If that was the best I felt I had......"I'm not dead yet"........I'd be dead.
