Caring=attach importance or value to. Caring more for someone else than your own pleasure = attach importance or value to someone else than your own pleasure.

Oy, you still don't get it. We don't value pleasure, we value that which gives us pleasure.

We don't value pleasure, we value that which gives us pleasure.

And, as far as you've indicated, if caring for someone no longer gives you pleasure, you no longer care for them.

I think mother ducks perform better, but Jerry Springer relies on your view of "caring."

Oy, you still don't get it. We don't value pleasure, we value that which gives us pleasure.

I get that, you've certainly repeated it enough.

What you don't yet get, or have lost, is that we have a choice to value something other than that which gives us pleasure.

This potential makes us, unlike other animals, human.

Because I know your thinking, and that you will now say: "So you choose to value that which gives you pain?" I'll clarify:

We have a choice to value something other than on the basis of pain or pleasure or in-between.
