    this involves not thinking about the burden that’s being put on others who do the task for you. or not having a conscience for social justice to begin with.

    Yes, and what about building a society in which everyone contributes according to ability and receives according to needs?

      how do you define need and ability though? people will then just try pretending to be more needy and less able

        If we come from a capitalist perspective, perhaps, we’ll see opportunism. If we help ourselves and those around us see through the pseudo darwinist propaganda of “inherent competitiveness and greed” of humans, we’ll be able to keep developing and implementing education that is aimed at self-realisation of human potential; and we’ll most likely see a decline in “laziness” and self-service. Speaking of anecdotal evidence, do you see yourself willing to give freely to those close to you, and what do you expect in return? I personally want to give to my fellow humans, and I have known many individuals who are alike.
