“No acts of charity are truly selfless.”
The Chemical Buddha appreciated any act of charity. He was not above accepting a charity/mercy fuck. In fact, it’s safe to say most, if not all of The Chemical Buddha sexual experiences (that he didn’t pay for) were charity/mercy fucks. However, when it came to acts of charity, TCB believed people didn’t do it from an egoless place. In fact, he was pretty sure it was all driven by ego. Either to feel good about themselves or to get other people to recognize and congratulate them. And while he was pretty confident on that idea, he wasn’t sure what a true selfless act would look like. Even if Jesus was being selfless, it did lead to the founding of several religions based upon him and his teaching. Same with Buddha and Mohammad. The pagans might have been closest. They gave us some incredible festivals and no one remembers who started them or why. Except to get together and dance around naked and enjoy being alive. Which is what TCB did and is probably why he began to consider his very act of living as a selfless acts of charity.
Why are you nice to people?
Is it possible to do something for someone and not feel good about yourself or have them appreciate you for doing it? If so, what would that look like?
