If a wealthy doctor abruptly quits his high-paying job so that he can go to Africa and help the needy, does that mean s/he isn’t really sacrificing anything? Presumably, s/he would feel a tremendous passion for and get enjoyment out of this volunteer work. Does that mean that this work has no value?
