If I met a homeless person and knew I had enough money to buy them a warm jacket and a meal. I would buy one from them. The person is obviously homeless and in dire need of help. If they didn't need help, they wouldn't be standing in front of the store hoping for someone to help them. I will not help the person because it is the right thing to do, nor will it help my ego, nor is it my duty. I will help them, for whatever reason I want, since if I were in the same situation, I would want someone to do the same. Some might say that they will not help them, because according to “Arthur,” if anything is clear, it is that our code does not require such heroism (p. 234). According to Arthur, he says we don't have to help them, it's not our duty to help them. We can if we want, but we are not obligated to help them. If you want, we can help them, but we don't have to because that's not our job. People share his idea that we don't have to do it, we can do it if we feel like helping someone; but it is not necessary. But for me it's not the case, I'm going to help them. And since it is not out of pity for the person, but it is my interest that I would like someone to help me and help me get back on my feet. In this book, I move toward what an “ethical egoist” might say: a person is not required to do anything other than what is in his or her own interest (p. 57). I do this because it is for my own benefit and not because someone is forcing me, but because I want to make him feel better. And if they feel better, I'll feel better too. Some people might say why this is happening to them. For all we know they could be on drugs... middle of paper ......c the homeless person that needs my help, I will help them. Even though I may not have much, I know this will be a big help to me. I'm also not saying that we have to give them some of our articles. All I'm saying is that we should help them in whatever small part we can, because anything can help. And this way you can say that you are helping a person. I think the point here is not to say you did it because you have to, nor because it will boost your ego and make you blovier, because it won't suit you. Do it because if you don't help them, who will. Don't be vitriolic and start giving everything you can and I have a feeling they will be happy with whatever you give them. And remember we are all the same and no one is superior to us, we are all the same, expect people to act rococo and think they are much more superior to us..
