You guys don't really understand that these are just dick measurement competitions aren't they?
Would you really be more motivated to donate to the most just cause in the world so that you can stroke your ego?
There are people here whos financial life is utter crap and they manage to spare 10$ for the JoS, those 10$ are 50$ for someone else, and those 50$ can be 500$ for someone whos financial life is much better. I'd give a medal to all those who manage to put something on the side for JoS.
Think with your head and leave the low dimensions of thinking behind, all those who donate to JoS are heroes, not just one who donates the most. Every single dollar given to JoS is something fantastic.
This close minded mentality must go. What you mentioned and was correct, is that no matter what we do, we do it, and as Jrvan said, the ACT matters.
I want to see our own in levels of accomplishment that I might not go in this life, due to not having time to not do everything at once. We want to get inspired and to inspire others.
One must not think of those who "cannot", those who "cannot" can also enjoy and contribute likewise. The person that "cannot" will likewise get returns so they "can" at a later date.
Instead, we should think of what we can do, and not get bound by those who cannot, as this does not help those who can't either, and locks them down on a state of inability through watching that something "cannot" be done.
The above creates a wrong mentality.
Some people bring a few tomatoes and others bring the palace, but the idea should be that we will all be partakers in the celebration process. Others play the music, and others do other things.
But the house must be on the development, and we have to cast out the spirit of miserliness with a spirit of "everyone that can do something must do it", whatever this could be.
Instead of the people who bring the tomatoes hating those who bring the palace, the idea is to dine like family and friends, and screw the unimportant matters.
If I see people succeed higher than me in many areas, as there are many in medical fields or other fields, I will throw a party. Certain successes of others, have made me put ACDC on the loudest, and experience other levels of happiness that one could not experience just by their own self.
This is the higher level of consciousness I describe to you here, listen carefully.
