What's up with this universal law and personal gain?

I use my abilities for personal gain all the time. Since I don't see everyone exclusively caring for others, I suspect that almost everyone does.

Am I to assume that if you are a subsistence farmer and you use your ability to talk to your crops to make them grow strong and provide lots of food, it will only work if you don't intend to eat any of them?

This just strikes me a self imposed limitation because of not feeling worthy. Of course I could be wrong, so I am asking.

Just my opinion.

You use your abilities all the time for personal gain? What type of abilities do you have and use? What type of personal gain are you referring to, if I may ask?

Even though I respect your question and statement about being a self imposed limitation, I beg to differ. Since you don't really know me, where I come from, or my history, I would think that was jumping to conclusions on your part. As I stated, it is my own personal opinion
and the way I personally live.

That doesn't mean what's right for me is what's right for you, it only means that it's a way of looking at why more people can't access things like lottery numbers, or knowing where and when a slot machine will pay out.
