One time, Abraham Lincoln was being interviewed on a train, and he said “Every creature only ever acts for purely selfish reasons.” Then, the train passed a mud puddle with several baby pigs trapped in it. Abe had the train stopped, took off his jacket, and got in the mud to save all the pigs. When he was done, the interviewer pointed out that he just did something completely selfless. Lincoln said “No, it was selfish. If I hadn’t saved them, my conscience would have bothered me all day.”
