Hypnopaedia

Volunteering is one of the highest services a person can do for the people and area around them. Sacrificing time and energy to work hard in giving back to those around them receives high praise from everybody involved. However, volunteering does not pay. A person will not be given any money for completing the sometimes tedious, boring, dirty jobs volunteering can entail. A volunteer in the community therefore must truly work from the bottom of his or her heart and expect nothing of tangible value in return. On the contrary, a true reward of sorts may come through the sense of accomplishment and moral gratification achieved after volunteering. Many feel payment in this way may actually be more satisfying than working for things of monetary value. The act of volunteering calls a person to put their self aside and work for the greater good of the whole. The fact of this hypnopaedic statement is dissapointing; volunteering doesn't pay. But is that the reality of the situation?
