Our beliefs intertwined where we both share the view that we all can and should have the urge to love unconditionally, and our most valuable asset is ourselves, but only if the person or people prove to appreciate you. My beliefs Their (alternate) beliefs I think every individual volunteers in response to our own values and beliefs; we have a choice. Volunteering should; everyone should do it.
