What is Buddhism "for" (in favor of)?
In one of the teachings I received, there is this concept of Five Joys:


The joy of having your basic needs satisfied (food, shelter, safety).
The (higher) joy of material comfort and sensual enjoyment.
The (even higher) joy of professional/creative realization.
The (very high) joy of helping society: teaching, healing.
The (highest) joy of Enlightenment.


So assuming you're in your 50s and done with the first three, I suppose you can derive joy from helping the less lucky ones?
