Meaning, on a large enough scale, you will realize that one day that in order to have your best interests at heart, you have to have the world's best interests at heart.

Meaning, every cause has an effect, and it always comes home. Indirectly, eventually, everything someone "out there" does affects you. If there is a nuclear explosion somewhere in the world, it affects me. If there is an oil spill, it affects me, etc. Just because we don't see the effects of something yet, doesn't mean they're not there.

Anyway... my suggestion is this....ignore Polarity.
I fully agree with your statement. I believe that self-service=service to the world. They are both highly interdependent.
The ultimate service is bringing and spreading joy. Joy has a multiplier effect, the more you give the more you receive. Its like interest and investment but without the risk,
