No, I do it because I am selfish and it makes me feel good. I also know that the effects of this work pay off in networking contacts and good will from those whom I have helped.


Going back and rereading this line, it makes me think a person does the soup kitchen thing because they are selfless, not selfish. Especially if one is above the fray so to speak in the socieo-economic strata. Maybe I'm nuts, but I do things for the experience regardless of outcome in the broad sense. Some times, we enter into things knowing any possible outcome can arise believing one way, while those others may be going entirely in a different direction or for a different result. Everything I do has a reason, and I can't say selfish, a survival aspect...but also a selfless aspect. It brings to mind the Serenity Prayer, and things one can and can't control. :jointsmile:
