I summarise mine with a quote from the Gospels

Gospel of Mark (12:30–31):
“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”
That’s basically Jesus summarizing the whole law into two core principles: love God fully, and love people as yourself.

You realize those are core Jewish teachings, I hope. The first is from the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mt Sinai, and the second is a slight rephrase of Hillel’s summary of the entitle Bible.
 
#2 is not achieved through one's job.
Who said it was? (Although it could be if you create something useful.)

It could be by giving a home to a needy cat, by giving to charity, by volunteering at a soup kitchen.

I prefer to think of it as: leave the world a better place than it would have been had you not been here.

I get that. I don't think I've left the world a better place but I've followed the laws. It's been nice to live by my own customs and traditions of an old Swedish american born here.
 
That Initforme poster devalues work. He thinks workers are “exploited”.
Baloney. I worked for 42 years. Surely didn't leave this ugly world a better place. Making good money isn't leaving the world better.

Ever rescue a kitty from the animal shelter? Donated money to a worthy cause? Volunteered at a tutoring place to help people with life skills? Help a 1-year-old standing on the hot pavement, crying because her feet were burning?

You must have done SOME good deeds.
