berguna -- 有用

apakah orang berguna?
Orang yang berguna ialah orang yang boleh diperguna?

何谓有用?
能被利用之所以是有用?

It's tragic that people are using each other without limits.
propaganda
relationships
money
work
studies
self-achievements

Altruism is a facade. Maybe it's just to make people feel good.
Being altruistic, so what? Lesser guilt?
Sincerity is bullshit. There never was sincerity without a slight intention.
either it's for self-satisfaction or satisfaction of others.

For instance, you see an old woman with a stick struggling to cross the street. you went up to help her. you felt good helping her and you are proud of yourself.

What if the scenario changes, suddenly the old woman fainted in the middle of the road while you were helping her, and you were actually rushing for time but you couldn't just let her lie down in the middle of the road. what do you do? Do you still get the oh-so-good feeling... or start to worry.. about the woman or about yourself more?? think about it.

Good samaritan?
