One of the hardest yet most important lessons one learns over & over in life is that when it comes to communities (regardless of their size) there’s NO correlation between the value of service provided and the gratefulness expressed.
You should never do or sacrifice anything if you wouldn’t be OK with nobody noticing or thanking you for it.
Humans are fickle, humans are distractible, it’s not always obvious what’s important—except in hindsight when it’s too late. Don’t give more than you have.
