By my own judgement there is only one true darkworker (as true as you can find them here) on this board and thats Asmoday. The rest seem to be internally struggling with the choice.

Haha don't worry by the way, I won't kick your precious puppies they don't bounce well enough.
Dont have any puppies to kick, but please leave my ***** alone. (clue: type of cat)

Thanks - careful, you're in danger of sounding like a lightworker.

Just be carefull the ego doesn't trap you, its SO easy.
Absolutely - we agree again! Way I see it, I'm deep in ego stuff almost all the time. The fact that I'm learning from this discussion and enjoying it reminds me. I am simultaneously trying to help others and myself, but I can't deny that it makes me feel good to be trying to be good for others, which is a kind of selfish motive. That leads some people to say that all do-gooders are is deluded selfish people, even evil, but that's just black-and-white, illogical thinking.

If I understand Steve's posts, he thinks its better when we polarize one way or the other. I feel that for me it's better to maintain a balance, protect myself, care for myself, and also care for others. That, Steve says, makes me wishy-washy, dissipating my energy so I don't do anything very effectively. I don't agree, or even if it's true I'd rather sacrifice a bit of 'effectiveness' and keep my balance.

I think I must be talked out on this subject, I'm just repeating myself.

@BTD - keep looking after yourself
