Day 257 - Living for others

Living in community is the "ultimate dream" of lots of people, they dream of this perfect environment where people will help each other and do to others as they would like to be done to themselves.

And why not?

The Bible does say, do to others what you would like to receive, and the measure you use to others will be used to you, judge and you will be judged, and so on.

If we could live in harmony amongst our brothers and sisters and we weren't selfish in the first place, violence and robberies wouldn't happen as much, if we are generous there is no reason to stealing, if the resources were shared there would be less jealousy.

If I am happy with what I have and I understand there is more to this life than possessions and belongings than I can be content and my heart is in peace, therefore I can stop waste my time being jealous and pursuing the things and status others have and I can focus on making this world a better place to live.
