Pic Of The Moment: When Republicans Visit Soup Kitchens

[dotymed]

18. This is an old trick.

I have volunteered at "soup kitchens" and when the work was done, I have seen the pols come in and act like they helped; to create a photo op. It is a sickening site especially after you have worked your butt off helping others. Too bad that they"ll never know the great feeling you get by actually helping others. I always felt kind of hypocritical, I felt that I actually got more satisfaction by helping than the people we helped. When you no longer get that satisfaction, it may be time to let someone else have that glow. I have also known people who worked to help others but acted like they were better than the needy. I always felt that those people, while helpful, were "stroking their own ego" or trying to be martyrs...
