I was watching TV and saw news about the Kamagasaki wintering struggle.

When I lived in the university's self-governing dormitory, I had received several invitations from seniors to be volunteer personnel, but I never went because I had to return home.

By now I'm thinking, 'I wish I had gone.

I volunteered at the time of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.

I still remember the jet-black darkness of the city with its power completely cut off and the pain of the night that chilled me to the bone.

In recent research on wellbeing, it seems to be common knowledge that "altruistic acts" such as volunteering are "self-interested acts" that increase one's well-being.

"Isn't volunteering hypocritical? "

You don't have to worry about such things.

On the contrary, it is O.K. to say, 'Volunteering is my pastime'

Even such volunteer work can be a sufficient win-win.

Let's lighten our awareness to the level of "participating in volunteer activities = visiting Disneyland.

Therefore, you can start whenever you want and stop whenever you want.

"Even if you come to Disneyland, you don't have to stay until the park closes."

If someone says to you something, I will defend you.
