    But we do help each other. We're a cooperative species. That's our greatest survival asset. Without that, we'd still be monkeys in the trees. Or extinct. Probably extinct at the paws of highly evolved cooperative lions.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

    I help people all the time - they're called "Family and Friends" and occasionally I'll even help a stranger - under the right circumstances.

    Some people are beyond help, others do not deserve it, many don't want it and a few don't need it.
    Such is Life...
