The Quadrant Principle

Throughout my adventures in this world I try to conduct myself in a helpful way, unless you get a few drinks into me then I become a burden. However one thing I always try to do when I meet someone, whom I regularly deal with, is try to leave them better off than how I found them. Whether it be mentally or emotionally. During the course of my short life, I noticed something very interesting: The people I helped, helped me help more people. For example: Lets say I helped a friend overcome a drug addiction, this same person also happens to be a down-on-his-luck DJ. I then hear that a friend back home is getting married and is looking for a DJ. I myself would never be able to help my soon-to-be-wed friend. Now that I know my DJ buddy needs work; I can help them both. If I didn't spend 48 hours helping my DJ friend through his withdraws, then none of this would have been possible. Although this weird chain of events has a low probability of actually taking place. Although it only happened once in my life, I am positive it can happen again if I keep helping people. That way I might be able to enable other people to help more people. Then the cycle continues.
I don't have any illusions about the world we all live in. It is a cruel and dark place. Also, if you read what scientists tell us about how the Sun will eventually burn out leaving Earth a barren rock; Than nothing we do ultimately matters. So why do anything at all? Well, I'm here, and as long as I'm alive then I hope to make the world a slightly better place, even if it's for just one person.
