"don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross a puddle for you."
No. Do it. Do across oceans for people.
Love people, all people.
No conditions attached, no wondering whether or not they are worthy.
Cross oceans, climb mountains.
Life and love isn't about what you gain, it's about what you give.
Stop expecting for something in return.
You do something cause you want to do it without any pressure coming from the outside.
or maybe you do something good because it's your job as a humankind.
Remember this. The sun doesn't ask for applause when it sets because that's what it's supposed to do.
Stop expecting a reward for being a decent human being :)
