> Mabye go back to India and participate in an active social life would be better? But how would I do it? I have to still earn for living and where would I start? I don't want to be a social worker asking people for money for social causes and trying to help with the money. I want to get deeper rather than temporarily helping some kids with money or food. Trying to enter politics in India is also bad. That is also not the way to go about. What do people do when they want to help massive amounts of people?
I tend to think most things in life have a political dimension. And it's usually true that pursuing a career in a 'helping' or 'caring' profession is less financially productive than other professions.
I wonder what you mean when you say you want to get deeper that help some kids temporarily with life essentials like money or food. How much deeper could it get? For those kids who are helped, it's everything.
I think the challenge in life is to help the people we can, with what we have. Even if it's only a few people with a few resources. No one can solve all the world's problems. But if each person makes a commitment to care about one thing, it can make an enormous difference.
Just my two cents.
