Yes, I actually do. It's the things no-one notices and no-one gets credit for, not that they want credit anyway. I like to believe there are good people who give of themself to make the world better, and I don't notice it. As a one-off, thank you. If you're one of them, then thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This comes to mind though by Nietzche "He that humbleth himself wishes to be exalted." I've seen in jobs people that get angry when their efforts go unnoticed and I can't help but feel that those that work with integrity deep down want to appear as modest
There's generally an element of that. It's human nature to enjoy attention and to want effort to be recognised. But there are people who sit outside the human condition; mass murderers and the like. It's not unreasonable to believe there are people on the good side of that coin as well.
Is there such a thing as a truly selfless act?
