Who owes you?

Nobody. They don't owe us attention. They don't owe us trust. Because nobody cares. 

We are not entitled to make a living doing what we love. But we are entitled to keep trying to leave the world a better place for those who come after us.

We owe it to ourselves, our family, our neighbors, our classmates, our co-workers, our boss, our congregation, our country, and yes, to the people who live in Australia or Madagascar.

And there will be rewards - not necessarily financial, but ultimately they will make us happier.
