Small talk with you better be worth something

Is action any good without the right intention? If I help someone out of obligation and resent doing it, do I still get my karmic credit? I have realized that the only time I help people with stuff is when I can’t get out of it. I wish everyone was well settled so no one would ever need me.

Ironically, I find helping others terribly self-indulgent.

p.s. I should add that by help here I don't mean helping kids in wars or famine; I just mean doing daily favors for people who should have managed on their own in the first place. For kids in war or famine, I don't have the balls. Although I find those people self-indulgent too. But when even God wants people to go to temples and sing his praises everyday, how can we be any better?

Just wondering

Would Kurt Cobain be the legend he is if he hadn't killed himself? If he had lived, who knows he might have been on "I am a celebrity, get me out of here". Alright may be not that low, but he married Courtney Love.

Death is like the end of a movie; we know what happens till the happy ending but we don't stick around long enough to see the passionately kissing couple at each other's throats in a matter of days. Girl would find out that the guy opposes gay marriage and guy would realize he can't afford the girl's shoes.
