....(Yep, I know, twice in a day. Aren't you lucky!) They say 'Heaven helps those who help themselves'. But look how that phrase changes its meaning if you drop the 's' from the end of 'helps'. Greedy, assertive people seem to do well in this world. As we less ambitious mortals watch the likes of them climb the ladders of power and wealth, we can easily imagine that they are being granted a divine boon. We don't know, though, what their lives are actually like on the inside. Nor would we want to.
If you must push for something, do it for someone else's benefit.
To be good only to yourself is to be good for nothing. (Voltaire)
