Serviam!

To serve is a gift and an art. Not everyone has the gift to love service. Many times people always seek to be served instead of they themeselves give service. What is service then? Or what does it take to serve. To serve means to give yourself whole heartedly without expecting anything in return. To give without pay not just in little thing but also in big. Sometimes you even have to give up your own things, you have to spend a lot to be able to serve. Not everyone has this capacity and love for giving themselves for others. Selfishness has become a normal thing for many. How could we reclaim that lost tradition and art of giving service?

When we give service to others we dont lost anything in us instead service fulfills us. Service fulfills a human being. It raises the dignity of being a human person. Plus it also shows that we are a cultured persons. If we never serve how do we differ from the animals who never learn how to give themselves. Selfishness is a sign of an ill cultured person. .
I remember this idea that has been part of being human but now it seems lost. The idea is that "a real gentleman gives up his seat for an elderly, pregnant,invalid or women". Can you still look for a real gentleman now adays bearing this idea as the basis? This culture has almost been forgotten because people think "why should I give up my seat,I paid the same and I'm also tired" which is really rooted in pride and selfishness. Yes we paid the same and we are all tired, who's not? But at least we are still able, these people have difficulties in their life something you can't imagine. Too bad many people are blind enough to realize this situation. Your seat is not even enough to comfort their suffering.

Another simple way of giving service to others is to "smile". Sometimes your smile is enough to give encouragement to a downcast heart of a stranger. Sometimes a simple smile is enough to save life. And to make the day of someone who is secretly suffering.

Service through a smile. How much could you do through that effortless smile! You'll never know the greatness of your smile.

Happy to serve.
