Service Beyond Self

We all know persons who truly give of their self to help their fellow man.  Service beyond self.  Some do it because they say it fulfills them... to do a good deed and practice the Golden Rule daily in their lives.  Sometimes they become martyrs for a cause, and some even go on to be recognized by the Catholic Church as Saints..... but you have to perform miracles for that to happen... LOL

 

The problem in our modern society and at the present time, IMO, is that presently there are not enough givers, but definitely too many takers..... so much so that seems to be the prevailing social conduct ..... get as much as you can and move on to the next hand out.

 

Not enough good, and too much bad.  ??? Do we adequately reinforce the good we see in others.... perhaps we could provide support to someone we see struggling for a cause.

 

Too many criminals, and too few protections to prevent crime.  Adding to the police force in numbers as a magic cure all is too much police and not enough citizen positive action.  I believe in protecting one another and caring for each other's safety.We do not need a large number of police, more, and more until suddenly we are now a police state burdened with the cost of paying the police to do work we can and should do ourselves.
