An unfair-to-the-customer motivation that money-hungry banks have to maintain someone's having to make payments on a loan for as long as possible.
I borrowed a thousand dollars from a local credit-union so that I could pay some local tradespeople to perform much-needed repairs on my home and vehicle. But then as it turned out, these "over-booked with repair-jobs" folks were not able to get to my repairs as soon as they'd expected, and so I didn't need the loaned money nearly so soon as I'd thought I would; I realized that I'd likely be able to pay the carpenters and mechanics "on my own" just with extra-frugality-saved funds over the next few months. So I merely returned the thousand dollars to the credit union within just two or three months after I'd taken out the loan; the clerk seemed none to pleased, since they'd only made about 22 bucks extra in the deal, instead of maybe close to a hundred if I'd taken a year to pay it all back, the way they had expected me to. Guess there was a little conflict of interest there.

Wanting what is best for everyone, including oneself, not, as commonly believed, what is best only for oneself.
He knew it was in his self-interest to help as many people as possible thrive and prosper, in comfort and safety, that only then could he ultimately thrive and prosper.

And when do THEY forgo THEIR self interest for ME, Jordan? That's what makes your entire worldview horseshit. It never goes the other way. It NEVER takes the form of YOU (or ANYONE for that matter) forgoing THEIR self-interest for ME.
Hym "And when does it work in the other direction? Who around me needs to forgo their own narrow self-interest? Noone? Then why should I be expected to? 'BeCaUsE yOu ShOuLd Be SeLflEsS! AgAiNsT yOuR wIlL eVeN!' You're NOT THAT Jordan. That's what makes you a charlatan. AND a liar. You don't actually ACT like you believe any of the things you say and all of your colleges have proven they DON'T actually belive any of the things you say. Your entire career has been dealing with poor victimized women and malevolent men and now YOU'RE THE SAVIOR! THE WHITE PROPHET COMETH! WOOO!" 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏
