Daniel Goleman gave a great presentation a couple of years ago on Compassion.  He discusses five great topics, one of which centers on the notion that people are hard wired to give, however that we feel good about ourselves and slightly narcissist. We give to help but to feel good so essentially giving, super cialis while supposed to be altruistic can sometimes have the opposite effect.

The thing that separates people from sociopaths or Machiavellian  is their empathy, or ability to tune in to others. Here is the insight that touches me, we are hard-wired to collaborate but have been taught to turn this off to pursue selfish objectives.  I myself am turning it back on as selfishness serves no-one.  The simple act of noticing other makes a huge difference, even just saying good morning to other when walking the dog make both you and them feel good, a little acknowledgment goes a long way.
