does a good deed fall in quality if you gain from it?
is being good being selfless?
i think those are the questions you were wondering about.
According to the bible, good people will live good lives in heaven. Would a good persons deeds be less good if the only thing motivating him to be good is his belief of a good afterlife? I dont think so, a good deed is a good deed regardless of motivation. If the deed benefits other people then it wouldnt really matter if you gained from it somehow. Lets just say, the good deed you did, somehow inspired someone else to do a good deed that affected you somehow. Just because you were expecting it, doesnt make your deed less good.
