Reminds me of the philosopher Spinoza’s concept of Conatus, the positive drive or force within each and every conscious being. First towards ourself, to maximize positivity in our life (without harming any other conscious being, sort of) and then towards everyone around us.
It’s easy to not remember the existence of Conatus, especially in this time and age. But it’s there, find it and use it to make your life and the world better.
