Not Running the Center

I would like to say that running the center "happens" much more by itself than anything else. I suppose the idea is similar to Adam Smith's invisible hand in capitalism. And like capitalism the result is often tumultuous and self-serving. This is not to say that the little things I do, or the things Steve does, or anyone else are not important. Contrary to that idea it is the little things, everyone's little actions and decisions that control the way everything works. And even though the basis for action (just about all action in the center) is selfishness, it is not rare to find some altruism here and there. I wonder why this is so.

One point I would like to make is that it is impressive that we have homeless volunteers at the Center. They come off the streets, needing nothing but money (and the clothes, etc. that come with it) and still work for nothing, for the most part just to help out. I am impressed.
