WHY HELPING OTHERS TO FLY?
“It is better to give than to receive.” This old adage speaks volumes. The smiles you send out always come back to you eventually.
We all have hopes and desires, and
the quickest way to get what you want is to give it to someone else… with sincerity
and joy. This is
true for all things, both spiritual and material.
“I am one with all there is,” that is, a part of The Creator, and
therefore I consider it impossible for me to do something to my neighbour, good
or bad, without getting the same thing back. If I break my little toe, all of
me suffers, because even though the toe is small, it is connected to the rest
of my body. Even your enemy’s happiness boosts your happiness, upon closer
inspection. A happy person is less likely to do harmful things than the one who
is unhappy.
Jesus
was a wise man, and one of his best pieces of advice was to do unto others as you would have others do
unto you. This is precisely the point. If you want the love and respect of
others, give them the same… generously, with praise and approval. Instantly you
will feel as though you are worthy and that you matter. Furthermore, others will
think more highly of you, and will not want to be without you.
