Something to ponder as you go throughout your day…
"You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all you experience to highest advantage to others.
Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone."
Buckminster Fuller
Dear David, this perfectly corresponds to the
categorical imperative as formulated in his "Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Moral" (1785) by Immanuel Kant (German philosopher, 1724-1804):
"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law."

If one is part of humanity it is a duty to oneself and others to not just exist but contribute!
