"With some fava beans and a nice chianti!!!" - Dr. Hannibal Lector

Sorry, couldn't resist.
By treating others as you would want them to treat you - with kindness and respect. Give what you can of yourself [money, time, talent, a sympathetic ear] and leave the rest to fate.
Simple philosophy.

I have a 4 point suggestion for you
1. Be yourself, care for yourself, make righteous living and not wrong, don't be a parasite on society when it comes to profession
2. Have genuine (but limited) care for others, family, society, country and the world
3. Have a way to energize yourself to remain energetic on this noble path
4. Have a good balanced diet, proper drinks / water /liquids

To serve the humanity in the best way you should serve yourself first and that to properly, safely and in the right way.
In serving yourself without deceits to the society in general you will serve the humanity in the best way possible.

If you think by doing something specific you can serve the humanity better then you are mistaken. These Drama items are only for making news or to earn big credits in the society / specific circles. God sees the person's actions and not his or her placard stating that he or she is a holy person or he or she is say Red Cross worker. If you are inclined to do such a thing then you are only satisfying and boosting your Ego but not doing the best service !

To treat people the way you wished to be treated. Try to help out your neighbours and communities. Stand up for what you believe in, in a pro-active way. Help change peoples attitudes to our planet, which we are destroying rapidly. If that is not resolved there will be no humanity to serve.

imo

happiness

reality

justice

the first and total priority must be to pursue your own happiness with everything you have got - since happiness is by definition the goal of everyone, since happiness by definition contains everything good, only the person who is totally dedicated to pursuit of their own happiness is qualified to do anyone any good at all

obviously the best thing you can give others is the best possible happiness - obviously only an expert in pursuit of happiness can have any wisdom to give others anything of benefit to them

pursuit of happiness is the root of selflove - selflove is the root of otherlove and love of love [=god]

the first requirement for pursuit of happiness is pursuit of reality - there is zero happiness in unreality [which doesnt stop most people from looking there - denial, head in the sand, fantasy, false imagination, believing, etc] - the pursuer of happiness operates under the reality principle, which is also the true pleasure principle - the socalled pleasure principle ['forget it if it isnt pleasant'] is a pain principle, a selfdestructive, insanity, selfblinding principle - by definition [since it isnt the reality principle]

grasp the immense potential of justice to benefit humanity, and teach this to people as best you can

proof: if a govt took 90% of income off 90% of people and gave it to 1%, that action, everyone agrees, would cause enormous decay of happiness [decimate? centimate? millimate?]

we have such injustice - more extreme than the example - therefore everyone knows [in some sense, in the tiny realistic part of them] that reduction of injustice in pay is the path to enormous enlargement of human happiness

justice is essential to happiness - injustice in pay is the biggest injury, since pay buys most things, including all necessities - we have fortnightly pay from 1000th to a million times average hourly pay - so we can be vastly happier - 99% of people are underpaid, so 99% will be keen, plus those among the 1% who can prefer happiness to misery and survival to nuclear winter

it is only necessary to get this through people's heads - and everyone already agrees with it [in the tiny, fully sane part of them]

injustice in pay, overpay and underpay, is the root of virtually all human problems, trials, sufferings, griefs, dangers, unhappiness - as pay is the means of most goods

firm and clarify the will to justice, causes enormous increase of happiness, serves humanity best

at the moment, people have an almost total faith in injustice, ie unlimited fortunes, unlimited overpay

but any chopping at this root will be vastly more efficient service to humanity than any dickering with one of millions of offshoot problems

we have to fight the human tendency to go to a leaf not the root of the tree of problems

'there are a thousand [a billion] striking at the leaves of the tree of problems for every one who is striking at the root' thoreau, america's deepest thinker

'small things are easier for people' plato

'strain out gnats and swallow camels'

'cant see the forest for the trees'

'only the person who sees the big picture is seeing anything' heraclitus [paraphrase]

if everybody strikes at the leaves, the tree of problems will not die - if a few strike at the root, the tree will not die - if everyone strikes at the root, the tree will die

so the person who sincerely deeply wishes to serve humanity must establish to their own satisfaction what the root of problems is, and teach it - when humans get the right idea of what is wrong, the tremendous human energy will very quickly have effect - humans are putting in tremendous energy and dedication to a million problems, the energy is there - only the wisdom, the seeing, is lacking

can humanity get the sight? - the only thing we can do is forever avoid assuming it cant - human potential is infinite, we do not know what is out there to help us

justice is the root of happiness, peace, safety, democracy, liberty, fraternity [social love], order, trust, truth [no truth in war]
