can it be that i really want do (big) good stuff for people if I get credits for that? is this bad ? makes this me selfish? or either way i still do stomething good?
I know this thread is totally not serious but if some people wanne share there vieuw on this i will not troll and would really be appreciated
Doing good stuff for people should be about the feeling it gives you and the benefit it brings the people you are trying to help, not as a way for people around you to appreciate you more. The appreciation you might receive can come as a consequence of your actions but it shouldn't be the motivating factor. I mean doing good things is obviously good but it's not going to satisfy what you are after (a sense of belonging) and may not be sustainable if you are doing it for the wrong reasons. This is actually quite common in modern society. As I know you like quotes etc I have included one of my favourite pieces of writing that sums this up:
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
Poker is by nature, a very selfish and insular occupation (online poker for sure). Having a goal/motivation outside poker will probably be helpful. You probably need poker objectives (i.e a new game) and a objective in real life too.
If you are trolling me good game though
