[(Anonymous)]

I'm looking for any answers people give! I think it's interesting. I had moral arguments in mind, or I suppose any other arguments to the person that I might be compelling, but I'm also interested in anything else people think.

My concern with self-interest arguments is - for one thing - there's just a lot of situations where they're not going to apply.

[case]

It's situational, but given no situation or details, it's tough to answer "What reason is there why I ought to do [good] things?" in any other way besides very generally in the "reasons exist, you can apply them where they do apply" way.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I definitely don't disagree that it's difficult. But at the same time that's kind of the question that's interesting to me.

Also, I agree that different reasons exist, but it seems unlikely to me that the self-interested thing to do is always the moral thing, and so again that seems like kind of a problem to me.

[case]

I wasn't saying you should always be moral, the answer was actually devoid of reason-by-morality! I was more trying to say that sometimes, doing the good thing is just as beneficial or more beneficial than swinging all the way to doing the bad thing.

Therefore, there are reasons to do good!

(There are also reasons to do bad, but almost never circumstances where it's ALWAYS more beneficial to only do one or the other.)

Unless the question meant to ask "what is a reason to always do good?"

[(Anonymous)]

The question I had in mind is along the lines of "Is there a reason, in general, to do good?", yes.

But, I mean, "There is no such reason" is a perfectly valid answer, and in many ways the most obvious one. And also, if people want to talk about other understandings of the question, that's also really interesting.

[case]

Then I think - to answer the question - there are lots of reasons, in general, to do good things (like the ones listed above that can apply to many situations)! And lots of reasons, in general, to do bad things (which the hypothetical person I'm speaking to would be familiar with).

Is there a reason, overall, to generally do good INSTEAD of doing bad things (as WELL as over doing nothing, which is also a legitimate choice) - depends on the person and situation. There CAN be such reason, but it depends on who the person is, where they live, what their situation is like, what they can afford to give up, what they want to accomplish, etc.
