This has a stirred a debate inside of me... I am a new bee here... as you can tell probably after reading this... I am doer. I like action. I like acts of kindness because they are helping me. They help me feel good. It truly connects me with people. So, I do them. I mentioned in the weekly reflection thread for Awakin call (the theme is service - here is that thread - http://www.awakin.org/forest/index.php?pg=reflect&cid=154 - awesome thoughts there in case if you haven't seen that yet...) So, the idea of selfless action makes sense to me. I feel the energy and true happiness, people around me think "this guy is changing" (in a good way ... :) ... or so I think). So, hopefully transformation is happening for me. I am not too worried about that just yet for myself either. I am new to realm of being. I try to lose myself in the task at hand. That's my "being" part as it makes sense to me today. To me, "economy" ties into doing. And ecology is where economy and all of us are being or living or breathing ...etc. I am happy to be part of the gift ecology, what would help me being there is gift economy. I am less tense, I am less wired up, I think I can relate to people around me a bit better ... If I stop trying/doing acts, these good things might stop happening. So, I like gift economy. Without that I wouldn't fit in so well in the gift ecology.
