Volunteering is the only way to feel truly good about yourself. Without volunteering you are merely a mouse on a wheel running in place trying to keep your head straight until you tire and die.
When you volunteer you feel good about yourself and other people. You help those less fortunate. You help those who are helpless. You help those who need people to talk to. People to interact with. People to care with.
Everybody I know that volunteers has a big heart and gets more out of it than the people supposedly being helped.
I've also got a lot of friends with Range Rovers and BMW M5s that don't have 5 free minutes a week to spend on anyone but themselves.
We all end up in the ground. I'm just making sure I'm remembered when I go. And not for what kind of car I drove.
