prosperity thought

It comes to me that we will almost surely prosper if we do really wonderful things for others. Thinking about how to do that should be good for our prosperity.

There's a physical foundation for prosperity, the arena of production, such as farming, building, and so on. For ballance, we can give some of our attention to that arena. What could we do to do really wonderful things for people in that arena?

Then there's an arena of feelings and thoughts ... communication, maybe. Basically, the ultimate good is happiness. Happiness seems to come partly from things outside of the physical arena. And, even if, ultimately, that's not true, it seems that ideas are what gives shape to things in the physical arena, so they are of the utmost value. For ballance, then, we could give attention to the world of ideas, too, and think about what we can do in that arena that will benefit people in wonderful ways.
