There is a satisfaction only when there is greed. Even the satisfaction of having helped someone is a result of greed of affecting more than ones own life, of attaining a peace of mind, of at least making someones life better. It is a greed of being a better person than you really are. It is nothing but an ego telling itself how good and how worthwhile its life has been.
All this- to what end? How does it matter if a life force helps itself? It is nothing but easing the flow, and therefore providing a continuity. Will it matter to the starfish, or will it matter to the boy? Maybe it will matter to both, and it will also matter to the onlooker. But everything is the same. Does it matter what you think?
What is neither good nor bad? Both or nothing. Everything happens because of an imbalance. If there were no imbalance, everything will stop shifting between the opposites. What good or bad can come out of such a thing? What would be the meaning of such a thing to exist? What would be the reason? The only reason can be to help people be what it itself is. That is the only thing it can do. And perhaps that is what everyone is really doing- showing a way that he himself believes in, because he understands only that.
Self-propagation? Is this all it is about? I wish there were more to it. This is too simple.
