Respect

Some random thoughts from today's Boccia session...

Respect people so that they respect you.
This has always been one of misterlyon's principles in life.
Over the years, I have discovered the biggest satisfaction of helping those in need, as well as organising events that bring happiness to them.
We, as volunteers, have seemed to be playing a useful role in their learning curve, but can we be classed as friends in the true sense of the word. Do we fulfill the same functions as 'real' friends? As far as the concept of warmth is concerned, I felt that all the players spoke with feeling about their volunteer. If they did not articulate their emotions as such, then certainly their smiles and body language said as much.

And what about ‘a sense of belonging and expectancy of continuity’? How exactly do we diffentiate that?
