'what is the value for you?'
Sarah,
The way you say this is straightforward and, to me, pretty convincing: "I want to help, because I realize helping you will also be beneficial to me and those I care about, such as my family.” The strange piece here is really how we've come to believe so profoundly in the individual, competitive, zero sum perspective on the world. Or to put it another way, doesn't it really make sense that helping others IS helping ourselves? Environmental justice seems to me a clear instance of how this is intuitively the case (and the assumption of competition or self-interest in the narrowest sense is itself counter-intuitive). Wouldn't this be the case even/also for someone who 'isn't oppressed in any way'?
