good deeds

the world needs more compassionate people. i am sticking to my claim that there is no such thing as ''selfless'' good deeds, that doesnt mean that there are no good deeds. i just think that they are all done for a reason that has to do with us. even when you look at the definition of compassion, we do it because of a DESIRE to relieve someone of their suffering. it is our desire that compels us to do it. i dont think that everyone is born with this compassionate outlook on the world. some people get that desire to help others in need while some dont. Paul Farmer is one of those people who feel compassionate towards others. he sees the situation in haiti and he wants to help them, he feels a need to help them. we need more people like that in this world, more people who have a desire to help others in need and alleviate their suffering. we dont need more selfless good deeds in this world. we just need more good deeds.
