The Charity I volunteer, had a meeting once where their regional manager said "anything you do - whether it be healing the poor and diseased in a war ravaged country, or fixing computers of the staff that sit thousands of miles away - know that you are helping. You are one cog of a huge system and we need every little bit of effort"
So if you really want to help those in dire straits, start volunteering. |
Kinda like Marxism then. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need

Yeah, it could be, but from what I see it's mostly a limiting belief, in that I should sacrifice myself instead of doing what I enjoy. I'll get images of myself suffering with people who suffer, and feeling miserable for people who feel miserable, because It's The Right Thing To Do. It mostly makes me feel disempowered.
If you're referencing to Steve's Follow Your Heartbreak, what really breaks my heart is to see people fighting and hurting each other because they're not aware that we're all one, or that some people believe we're sent down to earth to suffer instead of to learn and seek joy and that they have no other option but to suffer.
Basically, everything which is the opposite of my purpose: To tell the truth, that we're all one, that we're here to learn about ourselves through separation, that we are here to create the life that we want to, that nobody else can tell us what to do with our lives, where we should go, who we should meet, and who we really are, and to create moments of beauty, and to achieve that by embodying my purpose. Which is very very hard to do. I prefer to follow the positive path though, it makes me feel happier, and it makes me get up at 6 in the morning
This was all a little long winded, but oh well. Thanks for your input guys.
