The true beauty of our humanity is in unrewarded service. And no service pays better.
For each, their own perception of beauty. How many thousands have starved, betrayed by those whom they helped? I help people because I want, but not because I feel like I'll get anything out of it.
I help others after I help myself, and I don't think that people who don't help others have any ugliness in them. It's just a personal preference beyond absolute aesthetic judgement. Everything that is ugly to some can be beautiful to others, and vice-versa.
I actually wrote a post about this the other day. I won't say it's the right way to live, but I at least like to do good things because I feel satisfied rather than doing them because of a sense of divine obligation.
Confirmed!
Thank you for sharing that with us. I think it is a great way to live and hopefully more can follow the same path.
