" A person is only motivated by two things, self interests and fear" -- Napoleon Bonaparte

@alexeysamokhin9629 duty and responsibility are aligned with either fear of being rejected by others or the self interest of being praised and approved of. Start thinking deeper on things instead of superficially. Napoleon put it in simple terms but even then you can't grasp it.

@alexeysamokhin9629 let me try this one last time. Even when people help others, self interest is a motive. To feel good about themselves or to be recognized. To think otherwise is naive.

@WildMidwest1 fair enough, but narcissists often know more about human nature than the general population because they have to in order to manipulate.

@SelfImageStylist you're not bright evidently, and self awareness isn't your strong point.

@arcazon2485 that is true. I believe it should also have the word " perceived " in front of it also. This is why someone, who to outsiders, seems to be going against their long term well being, still do those behaviors. Because in their mind it is their " perceived " best interests. It may not be, but to them it is. This can apply to such obvious examples as voting, dating, debt etc. and the choices surrounding them.
