As I said before, I did not get anything from doing good and I only lost by doing it.

Evil society exists, if the good has to be done, then why should I be the one to do it?

I spent my current age doing good and that earned me zero returns and some losses and I know a lot of people who had a similar experience to me.

No one even feels greatful for the good I do.

Respectfully your argument does not hold up for me.

What guarantee that if they were in my own shoes they wouldn't fuck me up?

Why not focus on my benefit regardless of its effect on the world?

Why care about a society that does not care about me?

I feel that The Platform movie answer exactly this question, everyone care only about himself.

 

Considering the fact the doing good will not earn you anything in anyway and that if you are not a millionaire or billionaire your good acts won't matter at all.

What's the point?

I had seen with my own eyes good people being manipulated and fucked because they did something good, on the other hand it's pretty rare for evil people to face any consequences.

Why should I restrict my free hands with ethics and why should I think about it?

Just a note: I am a deist, so I don't believe that doing good will get you anything in the after life.

  • If fired or pushed out of their jobs, employees with Long COVID are concerned about diminished opportunities for other work that would offer the accommodations and healthcare coverage they need.
  • Current challenges for federal workers with Long COVID are part of a broader climate of ableism and COVID-19 denial under Trump.

From blowing up at Zelenskyy to fast-tracking Executive Orders, what can we learn from Trump’s recent behaviour?

 

In short:

More than half of Australian companies have improved their gender pay gap, compared to last year. But for every $1 a man earns, women, on average, still only earn 78 cents.

The gender pay gap is not about "equal pay for equal work", but aims to quantify the difference between the average earnings of women and men in the workforce.

What's next?

Anyone can view the gender pay gaps at companies that employ more than 5 million Australian workers, and their plans to reduce the gap.

 

From airlines to banks, fixing Canada’s competition problem starts with smarter domestic reforms.

 

The chancellor of the University of Helsinki told a newspaper last month that US authorities had pressured the university to remove certain terms from its press release about Fulbright scholarships.
