Causes are dangerous. Why? People give their lives to causes. And are they successful? Sometimes yes… or worse, that it depends. My question is… what makes a cause worth someone’s life? Is it the desire to see the end? Or the intrinsic purpose in life that it provides? Being "a part of something" so to speak? It seems though that everyone lives for their beliefs whether they realize it or not. One's actions are the window to his/her beliefs.Now nonprofit work carries a particular glamour to it. With some people unfortunately, it turns into a swagger. However, I would imagine the majority of nonprofit work is done with a good heart and intentions. And it is a place I’d like to be able to work in the future.
I have heard stories of the work being incredibly stressful, with low pay, and is generally underappreciated. Does this sound like the least bit enjoyable? This would mean that the draw is not in the ease, money or recognition. It altogether sounds very noble. Admirable, even.
I say, regardless of your job it is quite plausible to make a difference in the people around you first. Just because your company or work doesn’t nominally perform “acts of kindness” doesn’t mean that you cannot do them.
