Metaphors for STO and STS

[godwide_void]

I assumed that those who are STO delight in, and have as their primary intentions, the spreading of positivity to others, acting from wholesome/skillful grounds of thought as opposed to STS seeing no value in others and using others as means to an end to satisfy the self/the desire to serve the ego and the ego's false assumptions of what it deserves or does not deserve, what the self should be and should not be doing/in, etc.

Perhaps the distinction of radiance and absorption can be taken literally, in that STO individuals usually have the inherent quality of being humble (or attempting to be constantly), and rather than wanting to take anything offered would rather give to others instead; what they offer would be love and light in the form of joyful words and deeds. The absorbent STS seek instead to hoard and assimilate the light and love around them for themselves and think predominately of satiating ones own thirst before that of others. Nobody is either or, seeing as how we're all human and have to deal with STS/STO situations on a daily basis (or rather, the situation/circumstances are self-less and only become STS/STO-oriented based on how we approach them)?

P.S. It feels great to finally type behind a computer again as opposed to the tedious task of trying to post from an iPod. -_-
