The Null Device

As you give, so shall ye get: Psychological experiments show that altruism has indirect benefits:

They invented a laboratory game in which volunteers passed money to each other. The rules prevented a player from directly returning the favour to the donor - they had to give their cash to a third party.

But as the game developed, the researchers noticed that the most generous players actually began to accumulate the most money. The scientists conclude that doing good deeds increases the likelihood that someone else will treat you better.
