If I ever give a lesson on service, I am going to quote a Babylon 5 episode:
Before we got married, Emily would come by sometimes and help me clean out my apartment.
I asked her "Why are you so eager to clean up my place when your place is just as bad?"
She said "Cleaning up your place helps me to forget what a mess I made of mine. And, when I sweep my floor, I just sweep my floor, but when I help you clean your place, I am helping you."
I can't think of better example of what service is all about. Forgetting your own troubles, and helping other people.
