We can choose to become angels or demons depending on whom we worship.

By Henry Makow Ph.D. — July 23, 2016

Although I have received scant recognition, I am the Father of the Science of Sociodynamics. Periodically, I am compelled to repeat the Three Laws governing human interaction.  While they may seem cynical, they introduce an article about human altruism and the notion that we are “our brother’s keeper.”
The Three Laws of Human Interaction (Cf. Newton’s Three Laws of Motion)
  1. We are attracted to people who have something we want.
  2. We are repelled by people who want something we have.
  3. We are indifferent to people who do not belong in the two categories above.
Have you ever been called by someone who wishes to give you something you actually want?  Isn’t it usually, “S/he’s always there for you when s/he wants something?”
On the other hand I ask, how generous am I?
This topic came to mind because I have spent the month in my hometown Ottawa and have been pleasantly surprised by friendly gestures from strangers. Ottawa is a thoroughly Masonic place. The 666 logo “O” is on every street sign and city vehicle. The football team, the Redblacks, trumpets the colors of Satan. Nevertheless, it is more friendly than Winnipeg where I live.
A guardian angel in Ottawa may have saved me from calamity. I had put down my packsack which contained my Macbook behind my rented SUV. I loaded my bike into the SUV and forgot my packsack. I proceeded to back up. The vehicle started to beep like mad. But I couldn’t see the problem and was about to continue when a stranger came running across the street warning me to stop. I’m not sure if the packsack was on the sidewalk or on the street behind the vehicle. In any case, my guardian angel handed it to me and dismissed my heartfelt thanks with a smile.
Running over my computer, or even forgetting it on the sidewalk, would have been a classic blunder.  I just thanked my lucky stars that this guardian angel saved me so much grief. I resolved to be more mindful in future and not to tell my wife. (Generally, she is less impressed with me than I would like, and this would not help. She doesn’t read this site.)
Another incident happened when I was carrying my heavy bike up a long set of steps and paused to catch my breath. I noticed some people looking at me. “We were just going to offer to carry your bike up.”
“Not necessary,” I replied “but thank you!”
I often forget that to an outsider I look 66, while in my own mind I am 35.

ALTRUISM
