Is it good enough, just to have a path of helping people ? Lots of people seem to show up and tell me I have to have ambitions, to take on the world etc... But I don't really feel the want to do that.
You're already taking on the world, just not as most see it.
I would say to beware of compassion and the compulsion to help people. Where does this want really come from? Is it truly altruistic or is it just yet another inadvertent concern for the self? I have charity workers coming up to me everyday, saying shit like,'Let's save the world!'
Also, and this is a hard pill to swallow, wanting to continuously help people insinuates that one feels superior to the other. A tramp on the street has his own path, of his own choosing. Just because I can buy a sandwich, does not make my position any more enviable in the long run. So it's down to you- Is your compassion legit, or some self-serving machination of the your mind?
I personally think compassion is overrated, blurs one's focus, and has become nothing more than the cheapest of sentiments in our world. It exists, but we don't, if ya get what I mean. And anyone who doesn't feel an overwhelming swell of compassion for the (mostly idiotic/abominable) human race, who would fuck you over in the blink of an eye, is conditioned to feel like a lesser person as a result
The best way to help people imo, is not by handing them out material shit or faux compassion, but instead to lead by example.
