i am trying to step out of my culture to see if it is possible to do a good deed. you do bring up a good point and that is what is good is not fixed. or is but by each indvidual society. i may be wrong on this account but there are some simularities to what is good. for an example kill is bad. now where cultures differs is when they put qualifiers on, "but for... but when... killing is good". also culture can be wrong in what they term what is good, hitler.
now my question is it possible to do a good deed. what i mean is that without our cultures influnce either by demand, laws, or by programing, the mommy said that is bad, or by some selfish intent, rewards, is it possible to do good?
