Not getting paid nor receiving thanks for a task is no excuse for not giving it your best.

Some time ago I was a St.John Brigade member, volunteer work.

I still had to qualified & competent, and I still had a duty to help people, with or without thanks.

I have had racist abuse directed towards me from someone while trying to patch up their mate. I still did the right thing.

Perhaps I just expect too much of people!
