I have read, don't know if it's true, that in the Japanese language "altruism" has five distinct
definitions, each of which's meaning contains a different degree of "resentment". Which to the
best of my mulling thus far, has merit(once one begins examining motive).Wouldn't have missed the read(thank you) though it reconfirmed my thoughts beginning with
my first philosophy course, everyone is grasping(especially the philosophers or they'd be doing
something more fruitful with their life:).peaceably
