Just shot a little 'SDA Vlog #3B' to answer the questions, will be up in the near future.
To answer szabi's "Should I feel guilty if I do not contributing anything? (One important question I've been thinking about.)":
It depends. 'contributing' is very vague and encapsulates a whole lot. Just trying to be a better person and trying to the best possible friend/partner/parent/... in your life is already huge and a lot of people who succeed at even just some of it get their drive for contribution fulfilled just through that.
I'm basically saying that it's hard for me to decide, you have to look at your situation and be honest with yourself about whether or not the guilt is justified. If you feel like you can and should do more and you could do so being just as happy or happier than you are now, then the guilt makes a lot of sense and could serve as a potent reminder of that.

That blog wasn't as short, snappy and powerful as usual so I felt it didn't fit the SDA Vlog series. Turned it into a blog instead! Check it out, my morning routine and meditation technique: http://athenism.net/profiles/blogs/my-morning-routine-amp

Many institutions we take for granted are designed from a basis of mistrust. Skip school too often? Go to jail. Run that red light, even when nobody is around for blocks? Ticket.
