Hot Topics for This Week!
=======================
Kindness. Benevolence. Generosity. These are a joy to exercise, and for good (and yes, rationally self-interested) reasons.

Saving the world, one starfish at a time ...

The world is full of good people, not parasites who seek to take advantage of us at every turn. Sure, some people ARE parasites, and are unworthy of kindness, but those people don't matter. Yes, we need to be on guard against those who'd take advantage of us, and take whatever actions we can to protect ourselves ...

... but in Ayn Rand's words: "We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?"

"No, we never had to."

What we do need to take seriously ... that is, to invest our time, attention, resources on ... and make sure our primary focus is on ...

... is the world's endless good people, good opportunities, good experiences, good values ... a good Life on Earth.
