      We give it all (and more) away to the worst of us. There often is nothing left for ourselves at the end of the day.”

        Performing surgery in impoverished nations… why are those nations impoverished when there is an abundance of resources elsewhere? Greed and control, and so they are giving away all of their energy to combat it.

        If you must see the other perspective.

            I’m sorry if I came across unclear, but that’s not what I meant at all. If you’re doing something positive, it’s because something negative has been done.

            • Cleaning up trash at a local park? The fault of litterers.

            • Reading a book to the elderly? Neglected by their family or caretakers.

            • Building a school? Government didn’t prioritize education.

            Obviously this is an overreaching exaggeration, but you need to use your energy on your own mental and physical health too, or you become part of the bigger issue.
