You know what, I believe you. You're right, there's no such thing as leading by example, no point in describing kind acts in hope that others might do the same. There's no such thing as altruistic people in this world, no integrity, and only moral corruption exists. You're right, and I'm just an attention whore with a superiority complex.

I do believe generosity is it's own reward, and I'm sorry for describing my experience. Even more sorry that people feel acts like this should be kept behind closed doors, and more sorry still that some consider virtuous acts as an ulterior motive to being "better" than others. If my viewpoint of the degradation of community offends you, that's a personal problem..... it's just an opinion.
