    Oh, yeah. Nothing wrong with treating yourself well when others benefit as well.

    Do you think it is wrong to do nice things if it makes you feel good? A few times I have gone out of my way to help someone and felt really good after. Sometimes I feel a desire to help people to feel that way again. Is that bad?

    When you accept a kindness from someone else, you're giving them the gift of appreciating their generosity.
    "Do not accumulate for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But accumulate for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, your heart is also." Jesus

    So true.
