motivation of obol

one might say "for the sake of others i redeem you". or for the sake of life on earth or for christ's sake or for my own sake (to be let off in a year or so, and retire before physical death ?) or "because i do" : my slot in the cosmos - which cosmos i worship as divine (our divinity ,-whose articulations are deciphered sufficiently by now, revealing the infinite glory of the whole) which so orders things that i do what i do as you too with (as you will see) a divine outcome or i am mistaken so what?
