That's great if I'm trying to get a favor from you, but if I'm trying to be a friend or if I'm a family member, that's a really crappy way to have a personal relationship with somebody.

Some people are very good at the transactional game of, okay, if I put this product out or market it this way, I'll get a lot of money. That's one way to play that game. But at a certain point, you have to ask yourself, okay, maybe this will make me a lot of money, but... am I willing to screw over my customers or am I willing to break a law to add profit to my bottom line?

You start running into situations like that. It's only when you get to adulthood that you understand that sometimes you simply have to willingly take on pain for no other reason than it's the right thing to do. That it's better for you in the long run, it's better for society in the long run, it's better for the people you care about in the long run.

And so a lot of kind of like the highest virtuous concepts that we've had throughout human history, things like honesty, charity, compassion, these are all things that can really only be attained in adulthood. I have to be willing to sacrifice myself for my family or willingly sacrifice myself or give up potential profits to make sure my employees are taken care of.
