The by-product is that they more people you help, the "richer" you become, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and definitely financially.

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.

What you're trying to do when you write is to crowd the reader out of his own space and occupy it with yours, in a good cause. You're trying to take over his sensibility and deliver an experience that moves from mere information.
