Pure Motives.
I did a quick search and didn't find anything. Just a quick question:
Do motives determine the validity of actions?
Like, if you saw a little kid drowning in a river and you knew his father was rich and would offer a reward and that is your only motive for saving him, does your good deed still count to you? What about God?
Do you think God cares about your motives, or that you just saved this poor kid from drowning and it doesn't matter why?
I have this theory that unless your motives are pure, then you shouldn't really perform the act of kindness. Like the other day, a lady who didn't speak English very well got her bronco stuck at a turning lane by my apt. Her transmission was shot so she wasn't going anywhere. I hopped out and helped because I wanted to help. The boyfriend and I got her out of the road and all that good stuff. And to be honest, I would have helped her just to get her out of my way but then my good deed wouldn't be as good. Follow me? I dunno, this is a question I've had for a while so if anyone has thoughts, feel free to share.
