Some people don't believe in altruism. I do. I believe in giving to someone: a friend, an acquaintance, even a stranger -- with perhaps no hope or even any desire to get something in return. Sometimes people just "need" a gift -- they always deserve one.
Life is a difficult climb. We balance ourselves on our tensions, on our anxieties, on our many many pressures. We float in a sea of vibrations all threatening to change us, to disrupt us, to harm us. Some of us even make more tensions for ourselves -- by trial and error we determine that Sartre was right (Hell is other people), and we believe in what we sow. We accept that it is better to resist than to go along; it is better to fight or curse than it is to touch or love. Humans are a sad lot in that way.
