What to Do

I am really curious about your ethos here. It seems to me there's nothing for you in it. either psychologal, social, or financially.

Is it more like a calling? a spiritual consolation?

> it is definitely a labor of love

Some people do things because they like doing those things…

Service to others is certainly something that fills people’s cups and sometimes the best way to serve is to offer your expertise in whatever domain it may be.

Do the things that reflect the world you want to live in. If you inspire others they may inspire others and it could grow into something bigger, one day you could find yourself living in that world.

Long story.

I’m a longtime member of an organization that is about helping others. It’s not something that I go into detail about, at the level of press, radio or films.

Also, selfishly, I really enjoy this kind of work; especially at a craftsman level. It’s nice to have an excuse to do it.

Yup. I’ve always liked doing this stuff, and it’s nice to have means, and an excuse to do it.

The happiness feedback from making others happier -- even if just less miserable -- is the most excellent feeling known to man. Once a person tastes it, nothing else will ever compare.

Lovingly serving others' happiness is a part of the asymmetric dynamics of the human universe, only accessible and operant in the world of free will and the ability to learn and manifest right from wrong, love from callous disregard or even cruelty, creation or destruction.

Peace be with you, though I hardly need say that to someone who already understands peace beyond what most can comprehend. Thanks for having your boots on the ground.

If that's the case, that means there's something in it for you, enjoyment.

Sure, why not.

Our teacher explained to us that the most selfish thing one can do is serve the happiness of others, due to the universe's feedback loop that feeds the happiness we've sown in our treatment of others back into what we reap within our inner world.

This is the most fundamental law of the human universe, and we all live under its iron fist as its gears grind our life's chosen actions' butterfly wingbeats back into us in perfect harmony with the frequency we emanated out into others, consonant or dissonant, loving or selfish, kind or cruel, generous or callous.

In addition, there are amplifiers and attenuators for both the positive and negative, especially at the narrow ends of our potentials' bell curve, so we best be careful how we wield our free will and the energy we possess to affect the world.

Ignoring this law does not change a person's situation, just their foundation for how they construct their custom decision-tree methodology of preference and habit, thus establishing their inertias and ability to self-reflect. This is because we are free to ignore the truth, just as we are fully free to be the biggest narcissistic asshole we can be given our station in life.

To boot, we're all doing this within multiple layers of our cultures' inertias that contribute to our perspective, once again, as per our choices.

Within it all, at the very center, is the most precious and perilous gift in the universe: our free will, mind, and body co-existing tripartite on this beautiful planet Earth.
