Socialism of 4D, Capitalism, Is Money STS?

I would add to it that it is also useful to release the feeling of wanting to receive gratitude from the others for whom we feel worry.

If we start feeling entitled to gratitude from the others for the concern that we experience for them, we might be left disillusioned as they suddenly seem to move away oblivious to our feelings for them. In many cases, we might even end up feeling used. As Ra said, do your work and relinquish desire for any particular outcome.

Agreed! At the same time, some 'New Age' teachers take this idea too far (in my opinion) almost to the point of not caring about others at all. I heard 1 famous guru say that if you see someone in need of help, to walk away, so as to not interfere with their karma. And a lot of 'New Age' self-help gurus teach mememememememe philosophy. If you tell them your problems, they say, "Oh those are your issues" instead of showing any compassion. Bleh! How cold! Same with mega-church pastors..."Name it claim it! If you aren't rich you're not praying hard enough!"
