DESIRE VS EMPATHY - TAKING VS GIVING: The human brain is - TopicsExpress

DESIRE VS EMPATHY - TAKING VS GIVING: The human brain is programmed to desire as much of everything as possible: new objects, new friends, more money, more pleasure, more...more...more. Why? Because anything new is perceived as being potentially useful. Anything that sparks interest, curiosity, or pleasure releases dopamine. Dopamine increases consciousness and motivates us to seek more! But if we do not develop those parts of the brain that allow us empathize with others, our desire turns to greed, and greed causes others to punish selfish behavior. Thats the neuroeconomics of social exchange, which money is an intrinsic part of. Guess what the most effective way is to develop altruism (as far as research is concerned)? Mindfulness practices, contemplative prayer, and following the inner impulse (no matter how small) to help others in need. Abnormal functioning in the insula, anterior cingulate, and other keys areas of the frontal lobe is predictive of narcissism and anti-social behavior.
