This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's not necessarily true at all.
Volunteer work can be full of really shitty and awful people who justify their shittiness based of their 'good intentions'.
I have volunteered my entire life and seen many orgs fail/fall apart due to shitty people getting involved and cannibalizing the org for their own selfish ends, or wanting to turn it into a social club first and a volunteer org second/third.
It can be rewarding, but a lot of orgs are full of very catty insular people who don't want you to be part of their group unless you look/talk/walk like they do, and you tow whatever 'party' line they believe in, even if it's shitty.
Someone volunteering doesn't make them automatically a good or a nice person. That's the smokescreen shitty/selfish people use though to justify their crappy behaviour in these orgs.
Case in point: My dad got into habitat for humanity because he loves Jimmy Carter but the local group was a bunch of catty bitches so he quit for local government. (Which also sucks but for different reasons.)
