Do you contribute to society, and do you feel it's your responsibility to?

Do you? And, do you feel it's natural to want to? Or do you feel differently? If you're young, do you think you still contribute to society?

I contribute to this place. I effectively don't exist in society at the moment. But I intend to contribute to society when I become a part of it again.

I ain't gonna front, I can tell you that at least 60% of the base doesn't contribute to society.


Including me.

Are you saying you live under a rock? Outside is beautiful, and even if it's not beautiful, it's sometimes warm :)

I don't, all I do is pay bills and buy necessary things and wants. I suppose I contribute economically but that's about it. I don't mean it in a bad way but outside the people I care about I don't intend on contributing for anyone else behalf

Why not? All that someone has to do is pay taxes, work, etc. If times are rough, then I understand, but I don't understand otherwise.

No I'm saying that I didn't realize that isolating myself from everything was a bad idea until I was at a very inconvenient juncture.

Well by default we're contributing to society as it contributes to us by merely existing in it
People who don't contribute at all aren't allowed to live in it, those are usually the homeless.
The ones who contribute the most are usually the most rewarded because society grants them wealth.

Why should I contribute to such a systematically flawed aggregate?

it's my responsibility sure, but I'll leave it to the more able-bodied. not that I don't have a nice body, it's just better suited sitting on it's pillowy ass.

I contribute to society by staying out of their way and never bothering myself with them too much.
