I have three businesses which are all geared toward helping others improve their health and helping health-oriented companies better serve their customers.

I get this. I also do much in business and service as stated above. And yet, I do not actually get involved with society. As a writer, I am also a watcher. Some here may think because of my efforts in the "meat" thread that it appears I do get involved, but my efforts there were two-fold: to share my views with people seeking higher knowledge, and to revel in the venue--an actual place where I could talk about how I feel, and not with one-sided activists.
For me, it is about human society and having the feeling that I am not part of it, and yet, trying to feel "one" with humans (I can easily feel "one" with everything else). It is very difficult for me to accept humans because of all the self-centered destruction to other life.
It does make sense that beings from elsewhere, wanderers, could spread the light of their consciousness without doing anything. And yet, we do set an example for others. So what we do, in my mind, matters very much.
