Volunteerism

Applied to be a volunteer for an organisation. Not sure if the application will go through.

Sometimes they say act of volunteerism is because you want to give to people who are underprivileged or misfortunate at their current state, unable to live life or sustain a basic standard of living such as food, shelter.

Volunteerism is the willingness of people to work on behalf of others without being motivated by financial or material gain

One will ask, why do you help others for when you are not so well off or say not satisfied with your life? Do i have a intention to help them because of my own motives? I believe i do.

I duno...but i do know, life is a journey and death is the destination. 1 need to appreciate this journey and we leave behind this small imprint, the size of a sand, which will be wash away by the incoming time of tide, erasing the traces of our individual existence. But the human race as a whole, will progress, based upon these individuals' contribution and advancing into another level like a beach being build on based on the sediments brought by the tides.

Another thing is the life i have has been clearly split into 2 parts, a work life and a personal life, and the fact that despite focusing on my goals, it seems to be not progressing as much as i want to be. Why not donating my time to the less privileged, have their empty cups be filled with happiness to live till their end of days.
