Why?

Because it feels like the most natural thing to do.

“It is the happy man, not the idealist or the miserable escapee, who is revolutionary;

and the happy man is not he who has many possessions. The happy man is the truly religious man, and his very

living is social work. But if you become merely one of the innumerable social workers, your heart will be empty. You may give away your

money, or persuade other people to contribute theirs, and you may bring about marvellous reforms; but as long as your heart is empty and

your mind full of theories, your life will be dull, weary, without joy. So, first understand yourself, and out of that self-knowledge

will come action of the right kind.”- Jiddu Krishnamurthy
