The greater gain


The greater gain justifies the total effort expended.
What that that exact aim is now, it is uncertain. Never-ending.
Is the constant slog worth the futile light?
Hindsight would say most definitely,
Foresight would say maybe, questionably.

‘It’s the taking part that counts’ – not quite.
It is the small outcomes and the subsequence, the end of the chapters that are significant.
Simple involvement is not the magnificence.
Milestones, achievements are what we remember. What we aspire to and inspire.

What is the point of anything, if there is no context?
Why not do something for the greater good?
If you could you would but you apparently can’t, so you won’t.

Selfishness is a lonely island.

Altruism is a schism to egotism.
Karma is its ally, ready to return the favour.
Behaviour is not quarantined, it accumulates.
One day it will be tallied and will be married to your fate.
So the greater gain will somehow justify the effort expended.
The ended is explained
