"Yet for all the perceived frustration, when we do get involved, we find that we get a lot
back: new relationships, fresh skills, a sense of empowerment, and pride in
accomplishment. "A rich life," writes philosopher and theologian Cornel West, is
fundamentally a life of serving others, "trying to leave the world a little better than you
found it. . . . This is true at the personal level. . . . [But there's also] a political version of
this. It has to do with what you see when you get up in the morning and look in the mirror
and ask yourself whether you are simply wasting time on the planet or spending time in
an enriching manner.""
