@GwydionFrost what if someone is honest about there selfish reasons but still does the good deeds anyway?

@NeloAngelo Ok, so they are an honest poser. LOL
I appreciate that they are picking up the slack, and doing something that needs to be done. For me, the drawback is that they are doing this, not because it needs to be done, but because if they do, then they get something for doing it.
Hard to claim altruism, when one is being compensated.

@GwydionFrost so not a good person but also not a bad one?

@NeloAngelo BINGO. It is great that they are filling the void, but if a better opportunity comes along, they will drop it without a second thought.

@GwydionFrost i suppose that's the better way of looking at it. 🤔
