remarketable. err.

just saying that those who do stuff for other people will be happier than those who do stuff just for themselves, but not to expect financial success, a TV show, a cure for cancer. Just contentment and shit like that. or so i've heard.

I'll have to agree with Mr. Noodle on that, but I don't think it's an aswer for long term happiness. I think when a person does a good deed, they feel good about themselves for a little while afterwards. Then it wears off. You have to keep doing good constantly to get that rush.

well, if you are doing good things for the "rush" that you get, maybe the motivation for doing the deed is a little offkilter in the first place. maybe we should just do the good deed for the sake of helping another person, without regard to how it makes us feel.
