RE: Can Beneficial Emotions, Like Compassion And Empathy, Hurt Us In Our Modern Day Society?

in #life8 years ago

Cal24, Maybe you could look at educating yourself in areas of which are 'Caring' industries, whether caring for people or the planet, that might be a more appropriate choice for you than the bankster investment racket. Nursing, teaching, forestry, organic farming, community building, etc. are all possibilities that benefit from empathetic and caring participants without making you 'morally bankrupt'. You may not get rich, although you might if you are a creative producing genius and focus on positive solutions that are productive, popular and uniquely giving, but at the end of the day wealth after a certain point, brings no more happiness or satisfaction just more headaches, stress and chaos..... just my pov. love the post! oc

The thing is I love investing and money, it was what I was always meant to do. Im thinking of becoming a fiduciary which means I would have to act in the best interest of my clients. My dream is I could eventually live modestly with my own business working for myself, but that is a far off dream at this point.

That compassion and empathy you possess just shows your depth of character. It is truly the only way to understand what others, some less fortunate have had to deal with -- instead of just labeling them and writing them off. It is, harder for a man to show and express these feelings in today's societies, especially as a young man -- being afraid of being labeled a wimp or something like that... I myself, am not one, who gives a shit what society thinks I should be... I see your concern about your future and your chosen career.., but I think not being who you truly are will only hurt you in the long run.
