i recently found out the joy of Giving. last week i volunteered
at a homeless shelter in Redfern. It was very humbling to give something back.
as i talked to the men who would be staying in the shelter that night
i came to realise that they weren't that different to myself.
After we made the beds the volunteers and homeless persons sat around
a table and shared some food before saying goodbye.
Treating others with the basic level of respect and compassion that all humans
deserve has the amazing effect of empowering and restoring a level of happiness to
the other person and reinforces the fact that humans are all the same
and are all inextricably link in ones own mind.
It's important to realise that humans are all in basic terms the same all that differs is our personal circumstances, which we can not always be personally responsible for.
this is why giving can be so rewarding. As we are all linked and have some level of empathy for one another seeing other humans in pain can be depressing. by giving something back and improving their situation in life one can feel better about the situation of their fellow humans.
