Being of Service

Today was Sunday and I took it as a “day of rest”, going to a Friend’s (Quaker) meeting, exercising, cooking and napping.  One of the topics brought up during the Friend’s meeting was the idea of being a “do gooder”, which I guess I am since my main focus is being of service to others.  In the past, being a do gooder had a negative connotation since it frequently involved imposing one’s will on another person.  For example, “assimilation” or “converting” native people to Christianity.  I strive to not impose my will or beliefs on anyone.
