Without practice there is no reality only theory. We practice good work and good work gets done.
We are not responsible for fixing other people we are responsible for cultivating our own kindness, goodness, wellness and care. We by doing this provide a positive environment for others to do the same. We also by being organized are able to help others when they ask for this help. In return when we need help others are made available.
This human life is a sacred life. It is not to be taken lightly. Observing others is learning what not to do and how to say, "no."
The fully understood life is never wasted. The life of fixing others is deceptive and misguided. When we fix our selves we become an example and we can learn from others who are a good example.
The truth is only accumulated by investigation, practice and thoughtful action.
