Other's Perception of Your Behavior
The other application of this rule is that most the time you feel something, nobody else knows about it. So don't get angry when people aren't responding to you. If you deceive your thoughts with your actions, don't get angry when you fool people.

Selfish Altruism
- Transactions - If I purchase a car, both myself and the dealer benefit. I get a vehicle, which I want. The dealer gets money to improve his lifestyle. This is the predominant form of selfish altruism between people who don't have emotional bonds.
- Familial - Blood is thicker than water. We are designed to protect people who share our genes. This can sometimes shift towards extremely close friends and loved ones.
- Status - Helping someone is a sign of power. Many species of primates will offer assistance as a sign of dominance. People act similarly, offering aid to boost their self-esteem and reputation.
- Implied Reciprocity - Many relationships are based on the idea that if I help you, one day you will help me as well.
