That was beautifully written and made me feel very sad...
On behalf of my fellow human beings I'd like to apologize to you and all others who have been treated poorly.
I do a bunch of volunteering myself, not because a court orders me to, but because I want to, and I'm very familiar with those looks... but the looks I've gotten are more about what'd you do so terrible that you are cleaning something or painting osmething when you don't have to. (the concept of giving something wihtout expecting anything in return is completely foreign to a lot of people)
I would like to think that I treat everyone with the same amount of respect as I would want to be treated with, but realistically, that's not the case, I don't always pay attention to my surroundings... But I know I have never gone out of my way to look down on a person for doing any kind of honest work... and it irrititates the hell out of me that someone would...
