      Our ego makes focus on the will to receive, its the system’s programming, and it’s not our fault. However, we  an overcome these impure forces and turn the will to receive into a will to bestow, for which a change in our desires to the opposite of what we feel here, if we disagree with this research, is a part of.

      I think what makes it difficult for many of us to agree with the study is because of what we see in the world around us. It does not seem as if people inherently act this way from a first impression of society.

      Perhaps it’s difficult for us to agree with the results of the research on pro-social spending because of our natural desire to think only for what is in the best self interest for the individual and that a pro-social outlook requires a level of empathy that may not exist for any one individual.

      Ik wil heel graag geven  wanneer ik kan,  daarom moet ik eerst genoeg materieel hebben om te delen,  maar vriendschap, geduld, verdraagzaamheid enz   kan ik delen zoveel ik kan,  Tegelijk wil ik niet dat er van mij wordt geprofiteerd. Daarom denk ik dat het maar kan in een goede  omgeving

      It depends on the person. I won’t be happy to give my money to a thief for example. I will feel idiot
