A Worthy Cause

I found myself watching the movie Avatar yesterday rooting for the natives of the planet Pandora – against the humans. I wondered how this rooting against humanity could be possible and discovered that the cause of the natives (in this movie) were more noble than the humans: the natives wanted to protect their mother and the humans wanted to destroy the planet in order to harvest an ore that would bring a lot of money back on Earth.
We are drawn to a noble cause – a noble purpose that makes everything else in life seem insignificant. This perspective allows us to easily give our life for something – whether that be all at once in a form of martyrdom or gradually through the daily investment of time until our death. The hardest kind of work has little or no meaning to you; in this trade you give your life for something you don’t believe in.
