  1. What matters anyways? Isn’t is destructive to think such thoughts? We’ll just amount to nothing because the value of things is not so easily defined…! What makes us chose to do what we do? Is personal satisfaction all that matters? Are humans really only selfish?

    • Hi Vidya,

      Good questions! I don’t think we’re only selfish. Our default state, I believe, is selfless. Think about a child or a baby. When the see something they love or they find beautiful or interesting, what’s the first thing they do? They want to share it with their caregiver or someone close by! They want the other person to see it to, so that they can share the experience with them.
