| Why do we do the
things we do? Do we love our friends simply
because we are attracted to them, or do we love them because of who they are?
Are we kind and generous toward others in order to gain respect, or are we kind
and generous because we want to serve?
Sometimes we do the right things for the wrong
reasons, and so it is important for us to ask ourselves why we do the things we
do.
Doing the right things for the wrong reasons
erodes the goodness of what we do. it even erodes the success of our
actions, for things done out of selfishness are done without the insight and
care that make them fully efficacious.
The most successful persons in life are those who
act with the greatest amount of selflessness. They have the insight to
give to others what they most need to receive. |
