Difference between reception and service

We must not confuse welcoming and service, they are two different things.

Welcoming is the moment when the unknown becomes known, when the enemy alien becomes a friend who is taken care of.

In service, there is helpfulness. It is putting oneself at the service of someone voluntarily, as the doctor puts himself at the service of the patient. It is at this level that the service is extremely honorable. We serve in the army, we serve our country.

We always forget to make this relationship.
