Blindfolded and oblivious

So I think it's finally attempting to get cold around here. It's been raining, or at least, trying to rain, for about 3 days now and the temperature has been fluctuating by a good 15 degrees in the mid afternoon. I'm really excited to start my 19 dreary autumn. It's my favorite season.

As a member of the human race, I feel that it is my duty to perform tasks that benefit mankind as a whole. My career should be one that either progresses or maintains society as a whole as well as one that supports myself and my possible future family financially. I should be kind to my fellow man, helpful to those in need, and I should reporduce so as to continue the existence of the human race beyond my lifetime.
So my question is this: If these are the goals that I know to be the most benificial, both for myself and mankind as a whole, why do I have so very little desire to attempt to achieve them?
