A lot of good ideas there.
I'd take out the "put the needs of others above your own, though, as that's a recipe for disaster, and it's incompassionate. When you are deficient, you can't offer your best self. So it's crucial to take good care of yourself first and foremost, before trying to help others.

Turil I understand where you're coming from and yes, you must always put your own oxygen mask on before helping the child in the seat next to you ;) You'd be surprised at how many aid workers, missionaries and other agents of change I've met who still act from very selfish ideas/pursuits.

Yeah, which is why it's better for people to take care of themselves first, before they try to do things for others, so that they are actually healthy, and not stuck in some inner conflict about how they "should" take care of others instead. Lots of people believe that it's wrong to take care of themselves, and we all suffer for it.
Once you feel like you have an over abundance of goodness in your life, then it's time to turn your efforts outward, because you're going to be doing out of love, not obligation.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
