I agree. For all of you who have done volunteer work and loved it, you will understand.
I am still piecing my passions together: I love animals and I care for my husband (who loves animals) and I love looking at being's past lives and helping them to understand. I love nurturing plants. I love researching alternative energies and off-grid communities on the internet.
It is a privilege when it makes sense to help someone for free, knowing that there will come a time in their life when the Universe might extract the same from them. Who knows, maybe I did something non-optimum to that person in another lifetime and I am making up for the damage, no extra charge
As a fact, I have had the reverse done for me.
That is paying it forward.
