Response to Revolution of Goodness

According to the article I have read, the theory that explains why human beings do good to others exists. This kind of behavior is in order to protect the genes of their own species. Furthermore, the relationship among the cost of the act of goodness, the profit others will get and the relatedness between individuals has been formulated. This scientific explanation is quite convincing, however, I prefer to view this issue as a moral topic. In a society with harmony and humanity, we are required to love others and the love sticks us together to build a stable community. Every group needs love and respects and we express our love and respects through altruism. In general, we do good to others because we are trying to make the society better, and hence contribute to the progress of human beings.
