Such a great point. I have a lifelong friend who has nothing to give but his time. And he spreads it around to everyone that he knows. Almost too much. The lesson he taught me was "when you honor your friends, you honor yourself."

Taking a moment to improve the lives of others does lead to a sort of fulfillment that cannot be achieved any other way.
