Altruism is manifested in a desire to serve others without regard for any individual rewards.

Selfishness, on the other hand, is the desire to please the individual person indulging in his or her own desires.

In simple terms, altruism is caring about the welfare of other people and acting to help them.

Digital altruism is the notion that some are willing to freely share information based on the principle of reciprocity and in the belief that in the end, everyone benefits from sharing information via the Internet. I agree ^_^

There are three types of digital altruism: Everyday Digital Altruism:

• Expedience

• Ease

• Moral engagement

• Conformity

Creative Digital Altruism:

• Creativity

• Heightened Moral Engagement

• Co-operation

Co-creative Digital Altrusim:

• Creativity

• Moral engagement

• Meta Co-operative efforts heightened

"One weird thing about watching videos of someone playing video games is that sometimes you can get jump scared by something that happens. Like you let your guard down and then something unexpected happens, like an enemy coming toward you. And you get to experience the game without playing it while watching a video of it.

I always found it more relaxing than actually playing games as a kid, and I always loved relaxing.

That's why I prefer relaxing and easier games that take less effort etc. They are underrated and enjoyable. Lovely.

I just think it's funny that I still get surprised by little things like that, and it's fun to get the scared and surprised senses tingling. Lol"

What video game playthroughs did you watch when you were younger or... Do you watch any now? >v< 💖

Euphoric: When you are experiencing a euphoric mood, it can feel extremely joyful and pleasurable. When you are in a euphoric state, you may feel safe, supported, and carefree. You may experience a strong sense of well-being and a feeling that you are deeply connected to others and the rest of the world.

Euphoric is a bit of a trigger word for me, but I’m a POSITIVE way, since it reminds me of that emotion and the fact that I used to rely on it every day (by my favourite activity of listening to music and reminiscing, etc). Now that I’ve matured, I often don’t need it anymore, but it fun to very much OCCASIONALLY look back on the past. You HAVE to focus on the present, though. That’s what I’ve learned. 

How many fictional characters can you remember?

Rule! Have fun. It’s as simple as that.

“For some reason I just thought art school girls were all gloomy emo types. Pretty surprising to see so many smiles!” 

“Really. It’s a feeling. You’re painting and someone makes a comment and it destroys you. Did you think, if only that person didn’t exist, I’d love painting more?

• Sure I have. It’s someone I like but he irritates me so much I almost can’t stand it. But there are also some things… I’ve learned BECAUSE of him.”

“Sometimes the outgoing ones, they don’t OPEN UP and GET HELP with their issues.”

“Land that knock out blow when everything’s against you.” ❤️‍🔥💖

“Why say what I’m thinking to someone who doesn’t wanna hear it. No point gettin’ into it.” Wow, WISE WORDS! ^_^<3

“Someone said, instead of matching your expression to your feelings, 

Change your expression, 

And your feelings will change too.”

I love this last one.
