    What got me was how Tanner's mom comforted him after he lost the bid...and then broke apart in tears as Steve Wells handed Tanner the keys. What a story.

      God Bless Steve Wells for buying his dad's car and giving it to Tanner. This young man is grieving for his dad. So heartwarming to see there are still caring people in the world. Well's knew how much this car meant to Tanner. ❤

      I think it was more of a selfish act because he didn't even hesitate to give the car's keys to the guy, he wanted to win to give it to him (that's what I think) so for me it looks more of a selfish act rather than a selfless one.

I might disagree on the surface, but deep down I think it would be hard to argue against the idea of “psychological egoism” which is the idea that everything we do is selfishly motivated. I don’t think that is easy to prove, but it “feels” a little like that could be true. Interesting stuff to think about. At the end of the day, if every action *is* selfish, then this farmer probably picked the least selfish option!

    • @DrakeOola
      @DrakeOola 3 года назад +1

      He was doing it for tax purposes. He saves more money on taxes than he donated. These are random numbers but imagine you make a 10 million dollars a year, the tax bracket you're in has to pay 40% or 4 million as taxes, Since he donated 60k his taxable income is only 9.4 million which drops him into the 30% tax bracket so he only has to pay 3 million in taxes which means he now pays 1 million dollars less than he would've had to otherwise. Because of his donation he now gets an extra 940 grand. He owns an oil company or something, while it's a nice thing to do, tons of large corporations and companies make similar donations for tax write off purposes, even the shittiest companies you can think of. It was nice of him to give the car away but I can almost guarantee he drives something way nicer and has several display cars just crowding his garage, the car is just a bonus from his tax write off. It's basically tax evasion and you should definitely get mad when large companies are cheaping out and evading taxes, could argue that this guy deserves it but he still basically took a million or so dollars that otherwise could have funded a school or a hospital or something which would be fine if he needed the money but he's rich so...🤷‍♂
      Also, I think he literally has to donate the car otherwise he's just buying something and not making a tax deductible donation. I'm not really sure how that works tho... Otherwise I feel like you could just buy stuff at auctions for a reasonable price and sell the item to get your money back

    The kindness of some people is overwhelming at times. Imagine a world if we all cared about one another like this.

      Instead of imagining, it's within our power, each and every one of us, to protect those who cannot protect themselves and thrive to make our life full of purpose.

      The problem with this is that many will just erase our kindness, I mean it only takes 1 person to change everything, 1 act of kindness everyday might tip the scales to peace.
      But it will probably be erased by some other people for who knows why or how.

      @@A_Random_IRS_B0T_ Exactly. You only control your own actions and you can only hope to inspire a small group of people around you. And let's be real, most overall good people aren't perfect and do bad things sometimes. There is certainly hope to slowly move things in a better direction, but there will always be people on the other end of the spectrum who have no problem taking advantage of others for personal gain. It's good to strive for personal improvement, but there's no point in denying reality. The real world will never be utopia.

      The problem is that the people that do genuinely care for others are typically not the people that have money to blow. Ambition and kindness rarely coincide.
