I realize that some people who are not consciously focused on ‘love’ or on ‘helping to make the world a better place’ may actually do more good than someone like me who is. But what do we do, use reverse psychology on the gods of fate to trick them into making things better by way of our self-centered aims?
Maybe, what’s true is that the focus on love is something that works for me, and something that I shouldn’t expect to necessarily work for all others. I don’t want to turn my own cynicism on myself, but mabye at least to some extent my ‘lovism’ is a coping strategy, without which I’d feel more keenly the sting of others’ success relative to my own.
But there’s more to it. I probably should give myself a little more credit than that. Though ‘lovist’ goals aren’t for everyone, they seem my best means so far for achieving my own happiness. But, thru ‘lovism’, to what degree have I improved my ability and willingness to help others achieve happiness?
