"Helping or hurting?"

My realization of Life is that a species only survives over the long term when it contributes more to the future of its place than it consumes in resources. I call it "net future usefulness" (predator-prey isn't competitive, it's cooperative).

So, whenever asking, "Well, now what?" the answer is a simple equation of, "Helping or hurting?"

Evil: an action taken based on an unquestioned belief.

Human: a primate that builds a model of its universe inside its brain and upon physical maturity, moves a model of its Self inside that model; avoiding Reality at all costs.

The first step is always getting up and out of our bubble. The second step is finding something useful to do.

Hopefully, it is something that Nature thinks is worth doing, because Nature bats last.
