Do-Gooder

Effort may be a true sign of devotion. It comes, most beautifully, in the altruism of little gestures unconscious yet loving... sometimes it is forced, as in a smile, when the last thing we want to do is bare our teeth behind upturned lips. Yet we will anyways, since the one received in return is usually genuine. occasionally, we exert ourselves in ways which we never would have chosen but, ultimately are for the fortitude of the kin, the folks, the village, and we are the true reaper of the life well-spent.
