I challenge each and every one of you to do something selfless and with absolutely no reward at least once this week! if not every day! I think its time especially in all this uncertainty of our age to make a possitive ripple in the universe! post your good deed here no matter how small or how grandios, lets see what we can do as lightworkers shall we!
i saved someone 300 dollars through work as a sprint agent and helped him out of his debt!

Last week I took a guy who had missed 12 classes and had no notes for the test the next day, whom I didn't know, to the library so he could make copies of my notes, and embarassing scribbles.
Not much, I know. I'll try to be more conscious and do something next week.

******** ******** the red ******** the black orb
Score for the golden orb.
There is a philosophy I live on. It is the way of three orbs. There is the black orb, which is taking the sacrifice of others to benefit the self. There is the red orb: SACRIFICING FROM THE SELF FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS. Then there is the GOLDEN ORB: Equal benefit to both through enjoyable sacrifice.
The ONLY true way that what you're suggesting is anything but harmful to the self is if you TRULY enjoy sacrificing.
If you give with no intention benefit to yourself, not even happiness, then it is the red orb, and that is just being dumb.
I refuse to meet this challenge, I simply refuse. It's impossible unless you hate knowing someone else has something. I think this type of self-sacrifice is just another path to loathing life itself, and loathing yourself.
If I had not read the Sword of Truth novels I would have agreed, but... Seeing the entire world enslaved into a utopian society where EVERYONE sacrifices to the other for no reason, and everyone is equal was a HORRIBLE vision.
If you can't enjoy your own successes in life, including making other people happy, then you're off balance and need a little more self interest, in my opinion.
(Disclaimer: This is all personal opinion)
EDIT: If you don't enjoy benefiting someone else... WHAT THE ********!?

That is the most incredible philosophy I've come across in months, and I think it deserves its own thread. Nice, Lobo. <3

i mean that you only do it for the sake of helping others and the only reward is that you feel good afterwards.

Ginvera I play secret santa to people on here, I search through their Wanted Lists....and give them what I can....I am stuck here at home because I live in the middle of no where and I can barely walk...but I do alot of things for my parents...including getting down on hands and knees to scrub the floor. I live to make people happy and to give away things..
Kinda hurts when other's take credit for it. But hey, I just know those people probably have some selfish desire to gain 'kudos' with those people.
xD Acctually, if you look in my profile, I've donated over 500k to people anonymously.

xD Acctually, if you look in my profile, I've donated over 500k to people anonymously. MikeeBoi - No that is rude and stupid....I would say more but I don't feel like fighting with people who find this thread to be a thread where they can post immature stuff. I can probably think of thousands of ways to respond to this, but I am going to calmly ask your definition of the word "Immature", please? Random Lobo Fact: Many arguments can be started or ended by the mere mis-interpretation of a word. For instance Psychelapis tends to call people "Rude" a lot, when if you look at the definition for the word "Rude" it's VERY offensive. Calling someone Rude is almost equivalent to saying "Barbarian", so, she's being hypocritical and has many people disagree with her, just by saying someone is rude, or banning someone just for being rude. The definition for Immature is "Underdeveloped" or "Lacking what is considered NORMAL maturity." This is gaiaonline.com Just what is NORMAL maturity, eh? Random Lobo Fact Two: You can learn just as much information from spending a day with Stephen Hawking as you could by spending a day at a mental institute caring for the mentally retarded patients. Will the information be the same? No. Will the time difference between learning be a lot? Probably. The biggest difference? Yeah; most physics can kick a**, but there isn't a lot you can do other than make theories. Learning at the clinic, you can now care for people who have a mentality that is lesser than yours, and you've probably learned a bit about accepting peoplez. Knowledge from both can be equally valuable, but it depends on which knowledge you value more. Mikee tried pulling a gold orb by saying something relating to the subject and making us laugh.

I don't find it funny how this thread was to be taken seriously and he comes along talking about a tramp. Really....if you people find that funny..I don't know what to say. ok it was a little low brow but hey its the interweb its not real life so lighten up i gave my last dollar to someone for food today sure iwas a little hungry but it felt good to do it.
