Only the will to bestow like the Creator doesn’t follow this law, everything else in the HaZeh-Olam (this world) follows the same selfish law of self-gratification.

Unconditional love, falls out of Pavlovian motivation (desires to enjoy or flee from pain).  The closest example I found of it in life is a mother’s love for her child.  I usually STOP the law of maximum benefit by examining my INTENTIONS carefully before I act or after in retrospect.

I found the concept of fulfilling other friends desires fascinating as it requires one to incorporate oneself in their deficiency and use the brain to fulfill it for them.  I guess that is the answer to boundless pleasure that I heard about.  INTENTION must be the tool that calibrates the motivation, for whom I am seeking this desire?

Even attaining equivalence of form with the Creator will give us the ultimate joy which is the maximum benefit.  So the desire to attain the equivalence of form is to receive the maximum benefit of joy for ourselves.

i guess this is the foundation of our reality, everything we do is for a reason and a benefit. even when am tasty i make a calculation between water and soda which will give me more pleasure.

all in nature follows the law of maximum benefit. Individuals must correct their frequentie  by not thinking on  their benefit only but more altruistic,  for the benefit for all humans beings

Even if I follow the Kabbalah guidelines and do something that is totaly againt me, zero benefit, I would do it because I belive I will gain spiritual level and that’s just a delayed maximum benefit. So no, I don’t think I can find an action that does not follow the law of maximum benefit.
Well, transitioning from Lo Lishma to Lishma should change that, right?
