Service

I enjoy giving service. I especially enjoy it when I am doing it for a truly good cause. Say doing something for one of my close friends, someone else I like, or especially when it is something really needed by someone that truly cannot do for themselves. Like little old ladies, kids, or someone who has tried and just needs a little help. I have found that I also like things that benefit the community as a whole. Sometimes that can be helping a small group to make the community better, or maybe something that could truly be of use to everyone like libraries. I have decided that I am sick and tired of contrived service. By that I mean people that are to lazy to do things they are entirely capable of handling themselves. It seems there is always someone with their hand out asking for resources that could go to the needy if they would just get off their lazy butts. I won't mention any names because some of you know some of them. I've decided to look for ways to be of service that make me feel good about being able to help, and avoiding those opportunities that just leave me pissed off and complaining. I think I am done now. Has anyone seen my soapbox?
