I don't really contribute to society. Sure I recycle and separate plastics and glass from other garbage, but that's about it.
I would like the world to be a better place, but I can't really do anything about it, can I? If I was a billionaire, I could do a lot of good, but I'm not. Sure, I can volunteer for something, but that doesn't really impact the world. I mean, if I go to some meeting and we plant 100 trees, it's not gonna counter the massive deforestation.
If I volunteer at a pet shelter, I will help some animal, but that's just gonna be a common pet (cat, dog, rabbit), not an endangered animal that actually needs protection.
For me, part-time charity work is just a waste of time for people that want to feel good about themselves, without making a difference.
I don't have such time, I put all my efforts into my job and my business. Cause in the end, money is what buys you a house and puts food on your table. So no, I contribute very little to society and focus my energy on me and my loved ones.
I'm just another money-hungry capitalist and I ain't giving up on the dream of retiring on a yacht.
This makes me sad. If you can't save the world why bother trying? This is exactly why the world is going to shit. No one thinks they can make a difference. We are our own worst enemies.
How do you see yourself?
