If people are good
only because they fear punishment,
and hope for reward,
then we are a sorry lot indeed.

Muad-dib... Messiah of Dune...
Dune the fantasy novel series has always fascinated me. And today, i've proceeded to indulge in them again. Like returning to an ex-flame, quite pleasurable and self-gratifying. Memories of its discovery soon overcame me. As a kid wondering what that huge worm was after engulfing a really fat man when presented with it visually, and to a curious 12 year old seeking himself and trying an ego, running my fingers through its pages. Back then I could hardly understood Herbert's grammar and vocabulary which got me reading the initial century more than needed. Frustrated, i kept it covered with dust till S3c 3. I only finished it a year later. But the many mental complications, moral dillemas, anticipation of a Saviour, prescience and other aspects that jolt the human imagination and mind really shifted me. Almost pervertedly, the suggestions of immortality resulting from truly human vessels got me all so maniac with cranial stimulations. It taught me how to look way beyond the human psyche.
From a very young age... I've already realised the futility and
ludicrousness of hedonism and seeking one's own worth... a waste of time when you think about it... if you only sought to help yourself you'd turn the world against you meaning you didn't help yourself from the very beginning. Thus my mind from that age also denuded another contradictory paradoxical dillema... wouldn't it be the ultimate sin to be the ultimate altruist to help yourself ultimately? Hence only now I came to the answer...
And it lies in our intentions. If we are consciously helping others to help ourselves, then it would be a cardinal sin. But to help others as truly altruistic and thus receiving when ye hath given... it's no fault... it's a natural consequence...
But the greatest challenge here... is to know these consequences... and not want them... other words... do it for the good of the act... but since we're all human capable of greater deeper thought... we can know that if we do this to them and they give back to us, then it's not a really selfless deed since returns are given... SO as in the words of Mother Theresa... Just do it anyway...
