doing anything with your life that doesn't leave a long-term mark for the benefit of others

[/ QUOTE ]

maybe im taking this wrong, but why do people feel the need to do something for the benefit or "others"...when most people say others it seems like they mean mankind of a large group of people...why aren't people happy to just be happy and live an enjoyable life? i have no desire to do anything for the good of mankind (that sounds heartless, but i don't mean it to be) I will feel that my life was worthwhile if i enjoy myself, and have a nice life with my current girlfriend/hopefully one day wife and that is all i really want from life...

See, to me that's inconsistent with your "no" vote.
