Dear Kai
maybe I have understand your aim from this sentence incorrectly but
In many case there is not any profit in an effort
But somebody do it,Not for himself,But for punishing others
For example They think if they don't reply to an hello their prestige will increase,and other's personality will harm
Maybe,but it is not same in all country,religion,..
For that example here,he looks like a statuette
In my mind,Freedom has a vast meaning
But people who understand it aren't as vast as possible

Very Best Regards
