If something does not affect me with a suitably broad understanding of my full values and interest, then what business do I have wasting precious time on it? If I have chosen my values well and with full heart and mind then my only business is that which furthers my values. Anything other than this is lack of commitment and focus.

I think about the disasters in the world to the extent that I think about changes in technology and people that could lessen or eliminate them and advocate and work toward those in those aspects that are in or synergistic with my personal goal set. That is not facilely "light" or "dark" but is rational and caring.

I do not think we do ourselves or the world any good by using simplistic terms like "darkworker" vs "lightworker".
