The Selfish Humanitarian

Monday, April 11th, 2011

(The Humanitarian Summit was going splendidly, until someone suggested a game of Pictionary.)

Trying to make the world a better place? This doesn’t necessarily make you a bleeding heart liberal. Just as volunteering and charity work aren’t always acts of altruism, humanitarian efforts and other noble causes can be undertaken with entirely selfish motivations. This is because of one simple truth:

When we better the world around us, we ourselves are better off.

Any steps you take that successfully improve the planet immediately provide you with the direct benefit of living in an incrementally superior world. So, get out there and help heal the earth and its people… do it for yourself!
