Default Give it up to the... Lights-a-Darkworker?!

Hey everyone,

I'll keep this short!

I'm having troubles coming to terms with the lightworker concept.

I understand that when a darkworker gives to someone, it is out of the intent of eventual personal gain.

This is what I don't understand:

I KNOW that when I help/give to people/organizations whether it be time/money/energy etc. that I will unquestionably get personal gain out of the deal, it's just the way the world works.

SO by knowing this, when I give to someone it is very hard to not simultaneously think of the benefit to them as well as the benefit to me.

Does this realization of both sides of giving/receiving cancel each other out?

Basically, it is very difficult for me to give, purely to give, without also being excited, or just simply knowing that that will come back to benefit me.

This seems like a conflict of interest.

Or is it simply awareness?

Thanks!
