That's a weird and telling use of the word resignation, that says a lot about your mindset.
Either you didn't mean that word, or you projected into parents' comment something that you believe but that he didn't say nor seem to believe himself.
- listenallyall 6y agoIf I knew that hundreds, or thousands, of hours of my personal volunteer time and effort, were going to be exploited by some MegaCorp to make billions of dollars, I'd be pretty pissed, and discouraged to continue, even if I loved the project and mission. If that makes me a selfish person (or less commendable than the OP), so be it.
- bruce511 6y agoHow does them making, or losing, billions of $ affect the pleasure you get? The farmers ploughs the fields and harvests the crops, and earns his reward. Others will take that crop and make billions more in distribution, retail sales, as ingredients in other foods and so on. Each works for his reward, and if the satisfaction you get is not enough then you need to seek a space elsewhere in the value chain. If it is enough then don't worry about how others extract their value - it doesn't impact on you. The Baker is as worth of his bread as the Farmer is of the wheat.
