      This kind of thinking is just a reflection of our survival mode. It has been centuries since we have passed the survival era at least for most of us. But we still live and act like we are still cave man and it is just not enought, we don’t have enough.

      I agree with the fact that it is very rewarding to donate. However, my low nature, which is satisfied with material pleasures, is very strong. The lack of knowledge on how to sublimate the second is what makes it difficult to fully agree with the results of the research.
