It's not about what is good and what is bad for humanity, it's about service.
The nature of proper service is to serve the exact wants and needs of some other entity if serving in that way aligns with your own true self.
Trying to control what other people do is the essence of selfishness - that is the essence of "darkwork".
In order to truly serve others you must refrain from infringing on their free will, and only serve in so much as they ask. This is what "lightwork" is.
Many people throughout the world are starving and want to be fed. Some want to be fed food, some are starving for sex, some are hungry for inspiration, some are hungry for truth, some are hungry for justice... proper service is to deliver these things on request. Some people are experts at delivering ideas, some are experts at delivering pizza.
Western culture has conditioned people to forget about the deep joy and fulfillment that comes from serving others. The corporate media has conditioned people to believe that the only viable service is self-service - that altruism is false.
We're taught in school that the only proper way to work is to maximize profit, and that through this means you benefit the whole. But this is a half-truth. If you desire to benefit ALL, then place your Service-To-All ambition above the ambition for profit. This is the essence of lightwork.
There are people who ask to be fed, and so one feeds them. This is the very definition of service to others. When you declare this to be selfish, you are engaging in doublethink.
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Selflessness is Selfish
