Ever read Ayn Rand? As I understand her philosophy, simply put, it is that when one does what one does best, society is enriched. *Whatever* it is that you do, whether it's pumping gas or building rocket ships or singing opera, if it's what the heart calls you to strive to do your best at, humanity is better for it. Maybe you could think of it this way: we are all part of the same Being. Strengthening (by being as competent and passionate as you are able) one small part of the Being helps to strengthen the whole Body.
I don't know - that metaphor just occurred to me now. Maybe it's a little spacey . . .
