I sometimes think about the phrase, "Do it for the greater good."

It makes me ponder why someone does  a thing that is not necessarily good for them, but it's a sacrifice that will help everyone around you. The greater good, makes a situation better for the many; by providing the sacrifice of the one.

As Flash Gordon had to remind Prince Vultan, "No Vultan... It's a rational transaction! One life for billions..."

Flash Gordon was doing this for the greater good! Well, how many of you though that you would get a Flash Gordon quote today?
