 Thanks Steve
I totally agree. I also like to think that there is a "silent" contribution- simply doing what you do will have an influence on those around you because of how you do it. The proof is in the pudding... If you do something well because of an intrinsic motivation, even if it appears mundane - such as driving a bus or janitor - your influence will be felt.
By the way, I came to your site via lifehacker. There were a number of comments harshly critical of your work because of perceived "new agey" stuff. I decided to see for myself. Well, they are missing out! The idea that we have to all be on the same page with our beliefs is ridiculous. To each his own. We all have something to contribute. The intolerance displayed by certain "Lifehackers" is the same behaviour that many religious sects display against others who do not conform to their world view. If that's what "atheism" means, I want nothing of it! |
