English Patient Thought 9

Finally, our inquiry question has come together. We managed to successfully send all of our books to Admiral Seymour Elementary with the help of Ms.Kwan. We were lucky to have a teacher drive us there, or else carrying a box with around eighty books won't be a pleasant sight. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to go, but after looking at some of the photos, I was genuinely glad that the school could receive those books. And I think I finally have an answer to our inquiry question. Throughout our life, we've been sometimes told that people can be altruistic, while others tell us that all people are selfish. Some say people carry out acts of kindness to feel good about themselves, or other reasons for doing what they do. But now I realized, that all of this reasoning and deduction of true intentions doesn't really matter at all. What matters is that our actions are helping other human beings, what matters is that we simply have the drive to help another human being. If our actions' only repercussion is the benefits of another being, and maybe some self-enjoyment, then what is there to question? Nothing.
