I like that viewpoint, I just don't think it really applies to most people.
I'm sure many people have causes about which they care but beyond ranting online, I'd suggest very little of it gets translated to action.
I think you're right, people are tired, have limited energy etc but having volunteered at a few charities and seeing how desperate so many are for volunteers who aren't retired, well, it makes you a little cynical.
Brother, I have a job to go to, I don't really have time to have a proper hobby and spend time with my partner let alone do volunteer work.
Plus housework, plus child rearing for some people.
