I don't do social service. I don't do it because the term "social" makes it appear as if I am doing it for someone else. I do it for myself, as I believe no one can be really happy, unless all of us are.
There are 1000 thousands reasons (excuses) not to take up our responsibilities towards the society, and only 1 to do it: Because it is the right thing to do.
I like to keep it simple: We should help whenever we can, because we can. That's the reason enough for me to be part of this beautiful journey of public welfare.
