i had to tldr this in cgpt

TL;DR: The most important thing in life is to maximize the utility you provide to others, not yourself. Value can be financial or emotional, and people’s happiness (utility) grows logarithmically with value — meaning spreading value widely helps more than concentrating it.

To live well, you should:

Maximize total utility you give others across your lifetime.

Distribute value fairly among people to raise overall happiness.

Give value when it matters most, since utility changes over time.

In short: Be good, help everyone, and do it when they need it most.
