    It is called being selfless. You do the right thing because the right thing needs doing, not because you expect a reward.

      It’s not about getting a reward, it’s about not getting severely punished and penalized for doing the right thing.

        Oh, I agree with you that it is absolute bullshit. What I am saying is that what these people are doing is “selfless”. No reward. Probably punishment. Doing it anyway.

          Heroes. Just wish they would get more than just an “attaboy” and a slap on the shoulder for what they do.
