Love cannot remain by itself - it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.
I was taught that the world had a lot of problems; that I could struggle and change them; that intellectual and material gifts brought the privilege and responsibility of sharing with others less fortunate; and that service is the rent each of us pays for living - the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals.
No matter how big and powerful government gets, and the many services it provides, it can never take the place of volunteers.
What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
