Montaigne Social Work

I disagree with Michel De Montaigne when he says that “the profit of one man is the loss of another.” The happiness of one person is not always the loss of another. Sometimes the happiness of one person is due to the satisfaction of someone else. It is said that men are selfish and they do not care about what happens to another person as long as they get what they want. However, that's not always the case because there are some people that do their best to help others even when their emotional stability is at risk. Many people suffer just to help another person and see them happy. You can never say that every single person is the same.

My passion stems from years of abuse and neglect”(Franklin).Her struggles led her to want to help people with similar problems. If a person starts doing this job because they went through something similar then they are not going to worry about the profit but about the satisfaction of helping others.
