What you do and what you have done is not really important. The keys are your intention, and your being and perception.

For example, there are certainly some difference when you have helped somebody willingly vs unwillingly. Though the results look same for the time being, in the long run it will be complete different consequences for you personally.

The other thing is that maybe somebody is doing some great things while another one doing much less great things, the long term results are up to their individual intentions. The one doing not so great things with spiritual awareness probably will have greater returns than one doing great things without it.
