Everything we do is ultimately selfsih. There is no such thing as sacrifice. If we
reach
out to someone in distress we do so for the relief of the pain their distress causes
us.
What we do to another we do to ourselves. We get back what we give out. Even those who
say
they do good because they love God are fooling themselves. they do it to be in God's
good
books. Even when the motive is love of others, it is still a selfish act. The worst
kind
of life and the most painful, is one spent only taking. Without giving there is no
keeping. The only way to have love is to give love. If you doubt the truth of getting
what
you give, look around the world and it's troubles and tell me where giving hatred
resulted in receiving love in return. Tell me where giving judgement resulted in love
received. Tell me where taking resulted in love received. Tell me where condemnation
resulted in love receieved. Tell me where arrogance resulted in love received.
