Especially in Christianity, when we believe that we will be rewarded in heaven if not on earth. Due to the philosophical impracticality of such a question, we may as well discard it. A better question is, is it possible to do a deed that is in some way selfish, but in a bigger way selfless? If a deed is done more for someone else than for yourself, is it, then, selfless? Another question. If no deed is selfless, or if it impossible to do a deed that is more for someone else than for yourself, do human good deeds really deserve reward, earthly or eternal?Jordan/Yoda/Clambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612769689526508157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17280599.post-1162711938487747022006-11-04T23:32:00.000-08:002006-11-04T23:32:00.000-08:00Thanks for reading Junah...appreciate that people ...Thanks for reading Junah...appreciate that people actually come around this little space in the world wide web. <BR/><BR/>I've never thought of our own self-interest as form of currency; good thought.
