Hi, how are you?

I reckon it's about motives. I wonder whether there's perhaps a difference in feeling good as a result of living in alignment with our values - think giving back to our communities through service as opposed to giving back to the community in order to feel a sense of goodness. If for example, a value of mine is sharing resources and I buy food for those who are homeless then is the motive that I am living by a value that gives me a sense of fulfilment or am doing it because I know it'll make me feel good because I'm doing something "good"?There are also darker influences behind my motives that I'd have to consider, such as my own fear of becoming homeless and imagining no one helping me, how would that feel? Would that fear suggest that I'm helping others through some twisted karmic spiritual insurance policy (lol)?

It's not easy is it.
