Making Money

[Unbound]

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edward Burke

I think this is really it, I have to stop thinking that I am somehow evil and I just don't know it and accept that I actually am a good person with good intentions. This quote and idea has been coming up more and more in my mind lately, there are so many good people in the world but so many of them feel there is no need, or it's not their responsibility, to "do" something about the state of the world.

I'm realizing I'm not one of those people who can just sit by and float through my own life and not make use of the goodness I know I have. I think that makes the difference between someone who has a good heart and loves unconditionally, and someone who sees that goodness as a reason to do something. Not that either is better or worse, but there are different kinds of people. I am learning that I am a man of action, and I agree that I think money would just make those elements of myself much more apparent.

I have given myself a duty in this life, not taken or given by anybody else, but a choice I have consciously made in this life. I live to be of service. I won't always be right and I won't always be effective, but I will live my life dedicated to lifting up others wherever is possible, with or without money.

That being said, I have a good feeling I could do a lot of lifting with some more resources...
