The free t-shirt
Today was make a difference day at Northern. I learned that people are more inclined to volunteer if it involves a free t shirt. No one is selfless. No matter what someone does they do it for themselves. Some how some way they benefit. I volunteer because it makes me feel less guilty. I truly enjoy helping people. I volunteer because it gives me joy. I get joy. People give their lives and in return they receive honor. I can think of no scenario where a person can do something selflessly. Someone once said organ donation is selfless but even that gives us a righteous feeling. When I got my drivers license, I said, "I would like to be an organ donor," the lady at SOS said, "good for you." It made me feel good. Selflessness was lost. I wish I could come up with one scenario that is truly selfless. It is impossible. I feel like if a conscious decision is made that decision can not be selfless.
