Part of the essence of the individual is to be and feel useful. We were born to serve and in a good sense of the word, to be social servants.
Sometimes in this desire to feel useful we get lost in areas that are much more complex than those that we have closer and available.
Community service is a fact, a job, a task and in many respects a moral duty that is even regulated. And when I say this, I mean that in my country there is a community service law, which is established for university students who are in their final year.
Similarly, other countries contemplate these laws. Likewise, community service is used as a condition of compliance imposed by a Court for those who have broken any law.
There are also tax laws that grant levies or mitigating taxes, the fact that companies perform community services.
In all light, it is evident that this modality is committed to the well-being of people and that it fosters that duty that we have to give well-being to our community through individual or collective works.
It is pertinent to point out that the term community refers to the community, and that is why our primary duty is about the community, in that place where we have common interests.
And the most wonderful thing about Community Service is that it has a very wide radius of action
It is not limited only to a specific work, but to any activity that can benefit the community, some tend to mistake a charity for a specific subject, but a community service must be directed to a group.
Unfortunately I live in a country where, for political reasons and interests, the sense of the community has been decontextualized.
However, community service is the axis of well-being, in other latitudes, especially in developed countries.
Let us take this service as a task of a moral nature, which makes us useful to that society that has formed us.
