I try to do my part but weather or not it has any effect isn't for me to worry about.
Have you ever felt like you have nothing to offer to society?

" B. I'm good. I have a varied range of skills from giving massages, to writing, counselling, spirituality, philosophy, computer programming... ahahI would give you an "A" "I think that what I can give society is more than what I was/am taught to do. I consider that I can give everything that has the ability to change society even if it is only a little bit. :)"
I pay my taxes, I do my job & I haven't committed any serious crimes so society can stay the F**k out of my way.
I don't worry about "society". It's too big for me to be concerned with, so I concentrate on what's local; friends, family, community. I can only hope that my efforts there trickle down to society.
Here's the best advice I've ever heard offered on what you can contribute:
See, I'm lazy. Smart, but incredibly lazy. So I spend way too much time playing games. Unfortunately in order to apply the knowledge that I have gained from playing games...I have to do work. and the problem with laziness is that most lazy people are too lazy to do anything about how lazy they are.
But hey, I have a project in the works so I guess I might be good for something.
"Awesome quote!Here's the best advice I've ever heard offered on what you can contribute:
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.' "- Kurt Vonnegut"
I consume, love and laugh. That is enough.
I guess for me personally, I am not really one of those type of people who brag a lot or am super competitive. I don't know if it is because I feel this way (outside looking in aka I might have something to offer, but really don't know yet), or if I just don't really have much. I have always been kinda an introvert as far as my expressiveness goes. My art I keep in notebooks and in PSD files in photoshop, journals and writings never get published anywhere but in my word docs, my photography I usually just do for myself, ect. I kind of do things for myself just to throw my thoughts onto a physical medium just for me.

" The best thing you can do for society is don't be an asshole while driving your car, and tip your waiters and pizza delivery people well.Hellll naw. Don't you serving wenches get paid by the hour? Get fucked if you think I'm gonna pay for a meal that already takes into account tax, labor, and the server, and on top of that another government tax. And then give handouts to a person that walks from point A to point B for living.What we need is more generous and courteous people. That is all."
I have to say that I have a fair amount to offer that the world is willing to accept.
Its the big things that I really have to offer that the world won't accept. The way I see it, the world pretty much sucks. I think human potential is wasted on the societies we've built. I suppose that deep down, I'm a bit of an anarchist.
" @McGhee_the_Insomniac said:There are countries that pay waiters well and do not tip, but if you are saying this and live in the US, then you don't know what you are talking about. Or maybe you are just trolling? Waiting tables is one of the hardest jobs you can have, and you only make around $2.50 an hour."
