You can see any number of payoffs in this advice. I'm thinking that the most positive payoff may be simply getting involved.
Don't let the helpers do all the helping.
Don't let the givers do all the giving.
What's important in your life?
Who's important in your life?
What are you doing about it?
…and P.S.
My personal advisor reminds me that there is much to learn in this bit of enhanced wisdom from
St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430):
"Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by accidents of time, or place, or circumstance, are brought into closer connection with you."
