| | something Joe discussed is also valuable - the fact that you "measure" altruism based on the level of sacrifice. Ask people a question about who is more altruistic, the rich man who gives $100 out of millions vs. the poor man who gives even $20 and has nothing - they all tell you the latter - why? because it is the level of sacrifice they measure. This applies in other areas, like forgiving the unforgivable (murderers, etc.) as opposed to forgiving people who transgress but then genuinely change - or helping people who are ungrateful vs. those who are - many areas this applies - sacrificing a lucrative career to run off to the 3rd world is another. Do they like it more? sometimes they may, but often not or regardless of that the fact that they sacrificed a high value is what is measured.
