Egoism And Altruism
Question: What is the difference between egoism and altruism?
Answer: Egoism differs from altruism only in the intention: on whether I want to do something for myself or for others.
I can kiss you and it will be for myself, and I can slap you a couple of times, and it will be for you. In other words, the action itself is meaningless. It is only the intention that determines its essence.
