Doing your work not only allows it to be used in multiple places, and gives you a monetary incentive, but it also benefits society because your work can be the foundation for solving a problem that we haven't been able to. solve, such as cancer, HIV, droughts, crop failures, etc. There are benefits not just to you, or to the other person you helped, but to society as a whole..
