Seven Pounds

So on Monday and Wednesday we talked about altruism and how people sometimes do it unknowingly and others do it because they feel obligated to. As classes ended for the day on Wednesday I watched a movie with a few friends. The movie was Seven Pounds starring Will Smith and I thought that this was a perfect thing to blog about because the purpose of the movie was him feeling guilty for something that he committed in the past and he felt that he should look for genuine people who deserved things that he could provide for them. I brought this up in class on Friday and learned that him feeling guilty and helping others because of that guilt doesn't make him selfish.

P.S. You guys should all see the movie it's really fantastic
