Answer: self interest

Explanation:

Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fellow-passenger that all men were triggered by selfishness in doing good. The fellow-passenger was antagonizing this position when they passed over a corduroy bridge which spanned a slough. As they were crossing this bridge, they saw an old sow on the bank which was making a terrible noise because her pigs got into the slough and could drown.

As the old coach was climbing the hill, Mr. Lincoln said “Driver, can’t you stop just a moment?” Mr. Lincoln then jumped out, ran back and then lifted the little pigs out of the mud they were in and placed them on the bank. His companion remarked when he returned that "where does selfishness come in what he just did?

Their performances in the streets of San Franciso were influenced by the bohemian art scene of the Bay Area and the peace movements that started in New York City. The group supported ideas of a free society where private property was no more. Instead, they favored the free exchange of things.
