If you hate the world, it will hate you back.
If you mistrust the world, it will mistrust you back.
If you like the world, it will like you back.
If you love the world, it will love you back.
The only ‘world’ that you actually know: is the one of your own direct experience.
That world is comprised of only the people you interact with.
We all learn by imitation. We all reflect what we experience.
Give the people you interact with, whatever you want them to respond with.
But be careful you’re giving of yourself, not requesting of them.
Science has done a thorough job of determining that our most egalitarian instincts are merely a form of self interest, or an expression of kin selection.
Emphasis on Care-Taking is either an effort to obtain hormonal ‘highs’, or a search for status seeking and the equivalent hormonal ‘highs’.
However, instead of the pretense of ‘acting egalitarian’ and pursuing self interest for the purpose of obtaining hormonal ‘highs’, one could instead, make investments in the present and future, by actually HELPING others in many small ways.
Beware of people who ‘outsource’ compassion to the state. Its just another form of conspicuous consumption, and conspicuously consuming at other people’s expense, and at no personal cost.
The person who ‘votes left’ does nothing except steal. The person who goes out and helps people having difficulty by spending his or her own time and money is the only person worthy of respect and admiration. Everything else is purely selfish.
Love the world.
Not by feeling it.
But by demonstrating it.
And the only demonstration, is the contribution of your time, money and effort to help others who are in need.
