In any case...<br /><br />Ask a doctor how saving a persons life makes him feel.<br /><br />Ask a fireman how pulling a person out of a blazing inferno moments before the roof caves in on them feels.<br /><br />Ask a person who does non profit volunteer work at a shelter for the homeless or battered women feels when they help save someone from despair or abuse. <br /><br />Ask a US soldier how he feels when he helps bring freedom and security to those in dire need of it. <br /><br />I'd venture to say that they would say it makes them feel really good about themselves and what they have done. Surely we would not harbor any ill feelings towards such beneficial acts of charity and good will...Dragonhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02345138625352410119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750399704496351785.post-37754579072151947482011-03-15T02:26:18.613-07:002011-03-15T02:26:18.613-07:00Three people wrote that article?

It was so short I'm kind of surprised it listed writers at all- "by (publication name) staff" is usually how things that brief are credited.<br /><br />Hopefully book will be shaping up by summer! <br /><br />Anyway, I think Marc is referring to this quote:<br />“I just feel like I’m walking no air after I’ve helped 30 people,” says Life.<br /><br />Superheroes are often portrayed as very stoic: "no need to thank me ma'am, just doing my duty." However, this is "real life" so I don't think it's bad to feel good after helping people...but there is a fine line between personal satisfaction and ego stroking. I'm not sure I know where that line is, so I offer other people to weigh in on this.Tea Kruloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994495796501352329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750399704496351785.post-89756644276586709442011-03-14T17:51:40.956-07:002011-03-14T17:51:40.956-07:00The writers of the People magazine article certain...The writers of the People magazine article certainly made some interesting choices.<br /><br />Marc, for my two cents I don't even really believe in altruism.Mega-Radhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241470155134719937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750399704496351785.post-57608485255956799882011-03-14T16:19:24.248-07:002011-03-14T16:19:24.248-07:00Hey Tea.

When can I get my hands on your book mate? :)<br /><br />Something that struck me about the story was one RLSH's comment about feeling so good about herself after helping people. Surely a superhero is completely altruistic and has no interest in his or her personal gratification from an heroic act. Any thoughts?<br /><br />Yours as always,<br /><br />Marc<br />Manchester, UKMarc, Manchester UKhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=614137154noreply@blogger.com
