Volunteer?

 If someone suggested that I volunteer for some service I might or might not do it.  Most likely not if I was in a self-centered space.  But I like the term "volun-told."  That is, I don't get much of a choice when the reason for being volun-told is to prevent my own disaster.  Self-implosion hides itself so well behind, "I have no time," or "I don't think that is for me."  Since I am not my best guide left to my own devices, I do well when I listen to someone who sees what I don't want to see, and gives me direction, not suggestion.  The Buddha's Four Noble Truths are not suggestions.  Nor is Jesus', "Come follow me."  We will all die, but why not die transformed?
