text: caring or duty? what do you think? if a person cheerfully and willingly does something to help another and finds some kind of personal satisfaction in it are they more caring than a person who begrudgingly performs an action in behalf of another? does sacrificing time and/or resources indicate a greater level of caring than just offering time, kindness and service?  there is a debate raging in our household regarding this topic. neutral parties' opinions are greatly appreciated. my opinion is if you are asked to do something that you really don't want to do but you do it anyway with a good attitude, then your self-confidence will blossom along with self-worth and others will see it and know that you care.  if you do something strictly out of duty and you're 'heart' is not really in it, then chances are, you'll do a crappy job which will aggravate the person who asked you to do it in the first place, and the end result will be dissatisfaction with yourself. god bless!
