Price

A man goes up to a woman and strikes up a conversation with her.

Halfway through, he says, “If I give you a million dollars would you sleep with me for 1 night?”

“I think I would.”

“Would you sleep with me for 5 dollars?”

“Of course not. Who do you think I am?”

“We’ve already established who you are. Now we’re discussing your price.”

My life is no longer interesting enough to have anecdotes, so I’m sharing what I’ve read before to you.

Altruism

If you don’t know what my title means, go look it up.

“To me, friendship is like the stock market. Volatile, incomphrehensible and you may wake up one day to see your company go bust. But one thing is certain, without investment you won’t get any returns.”-Jake Tan

Now, I’m reading about about psychology and market behavior which inspired me to make the above quote. I haven’t finished reading it yet, but what I’ve seen so far is that humans aren’t as logical as economics say they are and that from the selfish behavior rises altruism and charity.
