Focus

No action is more important than one's state of being. That said, whatever gets done matters only to the extent that it influences the doer and everyone else. The world will just keep flowing back and forth and eventually turn everything upside down again.

The problem is there is a gap between human thought, the contemporary world and people. Human thought was educated into living each moment yearning for some possible future, fearing possible outcomes and - generally - just doing anything but facing what can be done now from what is available. The contemporary (human) world is, in turn, invested in feeding those thought patterns: if you get this car, and these pants, and that cologne... maybe you'll be cool. People get thrown around and literally don't know where to go.

I don't know where to go.

Then what takes place at first is nothing more than a change in focus. Paying attention to this instead of that. Instead of paying attention to all the noise outside, something inside finally realizes that itself is more important than anything outside.

All I'm saying is that people get played by other people that choose to use the egotistic desire for more. We all have it, no doubt. And then we feel grateful and try to give back some, but that's not the end-all-be-all. The utter letting go is relentlessly giving.
