…If you knew your reward would be greater than whatever you did for that person?

Trick question. The rewards are in the giving, so you always do get more than you give.
Thanks!

I've always done more for people then most people I know but it seems I'm the one who always gets hurt.... but to answer your question it don't matter if a reward would be better for me or not

I think the premise is a little off. If you were a trusting person you would always do something nice for someone if it ment a greater reward. It would be silly not to. I think the real question would be if the reward was greater, but you never knew when you would recieve it... The best thing I can think of ever doing is after I denyed giving money to a smelly, old, drunk street person he asked me for a hug. I gave him that hug and didnt pull away, or think about the smell or how we were different. When he was done he said thanks and walked away. I honestly think the hug ment more than anything else I could ever have given him.

I do nice things without thinking of what I can get in return. If there happened to be a reward, that would be a bonus but it wouldn't affect my decision in the first place.

I would only do something nice if my intentions were genuine then the reward that would be greater than whatever it is I did would just be a bonus.

Happens all of the time, but in my book, it sounds a bit like theivery. Suppose it depends on whether all parties are knowing and consenting, and of course if the motivation of the giver is solely reward based.

Yes, I would probably do it even if there was no reward that I was aware of, if I had the means to do it for them.

if i saw a person with no hands and they had to pee i would unzip their pants for them and if i cam across an ugly lady who was in a wheel chair who claimed she had never been f ucked then i would go through her purse and push her over and tell her "there u have it. u have just been f ucked.
so yeah i think i could do something nice for someone

I guess it all depends on that 'someone', if he/she is nice i wouldn't mind doing something for them and not wanting anything in returns
