Based on both. In puttng another first all the time however it is easy to have that nature taken advantage of. The feeling 'resentment' then comes into play. So one must be aware of a balance in knowing that are the others actions towards you serving your own best selfless interests. In otherwords.. treat others as you would expect to be treated yourself. In kindness, patience and understanding, of course if that be your desire. You will then find that others teach you much.Dan Rowden wrote:Quote:

Wanting the best for "the next" based on whose valuations? Theirs or yours?
Not unless you are yourself. I said to shine your own light in another, allows one to see themselves. We all see ourselves in others in many ways. We just have to learn what we want to be like or not. We learn all through example and choice. But yes it is also easy to see the 'stupidity' caused in ignorance, for your light tells you this also. Your heart knows.elderwoodxxx wrote:Quote:

Yes, and mostly that adds up to them being indiscriminately stupid.
