By definition, volunteering means you freely offer to do something with no expectation of getting anything in return. It amazes me that someone would ask, "What's the benefit? Why do you want to do it if there's no benefit?"
There's no benefit. That's not the purpose. That's not my purpose. I'm not trying to get anything out of it. I just want to do something for a cause that I feel strongly for, because I've seen people around me struggle over the very same things.
Does everything have to revolve around a gain of some sort? Can we not want to do things just because? Is it crazy to do something solely for the sake of someone else's benefit?
Every now and then there are moments that make me re-evaluate my views of the things and people around me.
This was one of them.
