When you help others without conditions, a quantity of endorphins secrete and make you feel good and also bring good changes to your body. This finding is called Helper’s High in psychiatric term.
Literally, it means the best psychological satiety the person, who gives help, feels. An experiment shows that among 3,000 volunteers who help others over eight hours a week, 95% experience a helper’s high.
A forced service is no different. One legal profession, who mainly deal with criminals, says that under trials who’ve received a suspended sentence of probation and community service order, initially do the service by force, but that they gradually do with sincerity. Service is helping others of course, but it also changes me.
When it comes to volunteer service, Zion members are the ones to be in. God told us to be the salt and light of the world. Honoring God’s word, Zion members experience Helper’s High time after time by giving out helping hands and encouraging neighbors in trouble. That’s why their faces always wear a smile and joy. Although no one acknowledges them, they slog away on doing good deeds, today and tomorrow as well.
Helper’s High
Serving makes not just others happy but myself as well.
