a nobler cause

Why is it that we do things? How can we change our motivations? Have you ever wanted to change? To become more noble, or just, better? I know I have! Well here's a philosophy that sounds a little odd at first, selfish maybe, but noble all the same!

Does the word Karma mean anything to you? In the most simplest of forms it is that idea that what goes around comes around. That if you do kind or polite things, especially going the extra mile, then fortune will smile upon you. Similarly, the same goes for unkind actions. Well? It happens to be the answer! At least as a place to start :)

Let me explain:
Be noble, pretend to be better, do the right thing, even if it is just for the return for yourself. You would still be doing the right thing, doing good things. It IS a good thing. Soon you will learn to do it for others simply to do it for them, rather than doing it for them but for you. This is a nobler cause, but the first is still noble, none the less!

Everything that I have read, that I have learned, has shown these people with noble traits doing noble things. That these people doing noble things had noble traits. It is a constantly reinforcing cycle, one that is very widely applicable. But what if we don't feel that we fit into that cycle? That we don't do noble things so must not be noble? Or are not noble so we don't really want to do noble things? Well you've got to jump start your growth! Pretend to be noble, and do those noble things, and you will start to develop the noble characteristics. Then you'll want to do more of the noble acts that helped you to grow. You will constantly be getting better, but it has to start with you! Don't wait for nature or Darwin to make you a hero. Do it yourself. You have total control of who you are.

Even if you are not sure what to believe, try it out! You can hardly err by being TOO kind and honorable! Make a difference in yourself. Make a difference in the world
