I just watched the video.

Not good.

I am too socially awkward. Why do I sound sarcastic forever?

Seriously.

Sometimes I'm not, and it just comes across being so. It's the way I speak, I guess.

And occasionally I try not to, but then my voice just sounds really jarring, to me. Like it's somehow filled with a type of hypocrisy that I don't mean.

A thought.

Is religion selfish-based?

Probably stems from my belief that all good deeds are selfish acts.

Hmm.

We (well, for me, in my religion, anyway) pray for good things to happen, be it education or health, and ask the gods to keep bad things away. That sounds pretty selfish to me.

Yeah, we give offerings like fruits and flowers and incense...but could it be because we hope that our prayers would be answered because we do so?

Why do people pray?

At the end of the day, it's mostly just about ourselves...I'm pretty sure about that.

I still cannot find an example where a good deed is intrinsically good. Any ideas?
