Not that I have anything against that, at all - but making it something its not (i.e. pure selflessness) - isn't entirely correct.
If someone needs you to do something and its something you personally dislike, but you do it, that's definitely not selfish (unless you are doing it for other reasons, like gonig to heaven). |
This reminds me of what I've heard of people following religions as the "outer path". They belong to some sort of belief system that they think as long as they follow the rules (even when they don't even understand why they follow them) then when they die they get into heaven. The true path is an inner path that connects one to heaven right now. And it may not be entirely a path of complete helpful actions to everybody. That is like tough love or real love is not a door mat kind of thing. Also I think there is too much focus on the outside world of trying to fix things when if we could be put back in touch with nature we'd naturally know what's best.
Most of the too much darkworker stuff in the world is just from being out of touch with nature and thinking we are separate from nature and smarter and can control it, instead of feeling connected and letting nature take it's coarse and letting it provide for us.
