I believe we all want the same things i.e., love, respect, loyalty, security, and a peace of mind, the basics. The only way to receive those things is to give those things. The true nature of these cannot be purchased with cash or gained via performance. One must be WILLING to be selfless in his loving, to treat others in a matter he'd like to be treated (Mark 12:21), to support others not just in word but in action (1 John 3:18), to look out for others, to be open; transparent, not to place unnecessary burdens on others just to make himself feel better. We can do this only when we truly, deeply, and thoroughly examine ourselves, own our stuff, and be WILLING to change. Our biggest project is ourselves. Don't be afraid or embarrassed to get or ask for help if needed (James 1:5). If we all start with the man in the mirror, I believe, our world would be a much better place.
