Voluntary Organizations

The voluntary nature of clubs and associations distinguishes them from workplaces where one is bound to carry out one's d uty and to remain in one's job. It has to be admitted that this absence of compulsion turns association jobs into enjoyable recreational activity. A person who is interested in rendering services for a cause may become a member of the association. The action that is forthcoming for voluntary membership is generally prompted by the member's inclination and willingness to give himself to such actions. The member concerned, however, should not take voluntary duties lightly. We may remember that even if the lightest of duties is not carried out properly due to carelessness or inattention, the result will be that the easiest of actions may be imperfectly done or not done at all. Voluntary or compulsory, any action that has to be performed would deserve to be performed well with one's whole-hearted concentration.

The main duty, therefore, of voluntary workers is to take their work seriously and give the best account of themselves in the field without a supervisor. In voluntary action, there is little or no scope for in­difference or neglect. The incumbent has to assume full responsibility. He has also to keep all sides of his nature under control. His anger, irritation, impatience, inconsideration, etc., have to be folded up as long as he works voluntarily. Also, it would be bad manners to feel superior about one's position. Because a person is working voluntarily, it does not mean that he can do anything and everything according to his whims. A rich man may be distributing food or clothing to the poor. He cannot get cross with the eagerness and indiscipline of those who have come for help. If another person is offering nursing help to others, he has to make himself stand the misery, dirt and uncleanliness of the diseased persons if they happen to be destitutes. Again, snobbishness and selfishness do not go with voluntary work. If any person accepts voluntary work because that has been the fashion, he or she may not be sincere to himself. Unless one acquires the spirit of service, it is futile to take up the work just to please others or flatter one's own ego.
