Does simple human kindness require a “long term benefit”? The fact that you get angry with yourself, at thinking that way, may be your self trying to tell you something. Just my two cents.

Seems to me that is the cause of a lot of the trouble we have- trying to understand criminals instead of locking them up, entitlement programs instead of saying-“the schools are free- people who use them get ahead”, unlimited welfare, and so on and so on. It’s not easy to make tough, harsh calls, but the wallet isn’t bottomless either.
