You must be from southern hemisphere. You are telling me what is on mine mind , wow wow, No wonder we have a contious disagreement, Please speak to me with a common language (sequitur ) are you trying to impress me with fancy words ?
Wow, you are right, our process of thought is different. It would never even occur to me to think that there was something wrong with people from the Southern Hemisphere. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
You have a habit of bigoted ad homs. You have been called on these several times previously. Something your favorite friend Paddoboy has gotten in trouble for. I quoted your direct response to origin's post. i.e. you are telling me what is on your mind. non sequitur means "it does not follow". As in this: Have you participate in an uprising by force ? Many innocent people get hurt. does not logically follow from this: ...when laws are unjust, then it's our duty to disobey them.

This is psychology question:"are all good actions benevolent?" A good action makes the actor feel good: it is selfish.
If consideration is given to the notion that all people are connected then there is no contradiction between wishing to do well by another and expecting to do well in the first instance. Selfishness is only a bad thing when pursued to an unnecessary extreme . Give and take, Moderation in all things etc etc
Unfortunately , as a species we don't do moderation. That's why we are an invasive species. We are beginning to pay the price for our collection greed. Professor Bartlett has an interesting lecture on the "exponential function" and it's consequences of steady growth in a limited space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI1C9DyIi_8
