I like the way Naval said, “ Life is a single-player game”. This doesn’t mean you should not take care of anyone except yourself. It is more like explore yourself with new experiments.
And learn/discover more things about you and start the journey as your life depends on it. Then, you can figure out what’s your added value to society. If you are willing to do it more, you should do it because you love it, not someone who told you so.
