It’s a question that’s sparked debate for years. Some believe helping others should remain completely selfless. Others argue that rewarding good deeds takes away from the sincerity behind them but perhaps there’s another way to look at it.
Teachers are paid for educating others. Doctors are paid for improving lives. Firefighters are paid for protecting communities. Their compensation doesn’t diminish the value of what they do, it enables them to keep doing it.
So why should every form of positive impact be expected to come at a personal cost?
Maybe the goal isn’t to put a price on kindness. Maybe it’s to create systems that make doing good sustainable, so the people creating value for others don’t burn out or get left behind.
That’s one of the ideas that makes Causevest interesting to me.
What do you think, should creating positive impact also create economic value?
