A consideration in determining what is thrilling, what is boring, what any reaction to choice and manifestation is, is the mass consciousness here. Without judgment, everything is equal.
One big difference I see between STS and STO in this regard, is that the STS mindset is conscious of its choice to manifest certain things. The STS individual doesn't judge money as bad for example. This is an advantage in my opinion. The STS individual just goes after what he or she wants very directly. And these things are supported within the current mass consciousness—in other words, all people expect this behavior and they go along with it either by choice or by the choice not to make a choice (victim). The STO individual is more confused in my opinion. To use the above reference, the STO individual often thinks money IS bad, that to be materialistic is not as good as being of service. But this thinking is skewed and I think is being generated by the sway of mass consciousness. This mass consciousness may or may not have been generated by the STS individuals in power, but certainly is perpetuated by that machine. So it behooves the STO individual to detach from human judgments, unplug from mass consciousness and the media. It'll be easier to swim upstream that way. You can be rich and be of service at the same time, for example—and how thrilling would that be?
It's good to remember that this IS a material world. That we must survive to be here. That being physically comfortable more easily affords higher consciousness pursuits (Maslow's hierarchy of needs). The STS individual knows this and that is a strength. The STO individual oftentimes get's lost with concepts such as sacrifice and martyrdom. These derive from wonderful intentions but are out of balance.
Taking care of, being of service to, others, must include one's self. One gift to the world I see coming from STS individuals is the joy they generate for themselves. This is perhaps offset greatly by the suffering they also generate. But as an STO individual, one can strive to create joy that doesn't cause suffering, and that includes self. It can be tricky, but the first step in my opinion is to unplug from mass consciousness and judgment.
