Others


"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. "This is the first and great commandment. "And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (Matthew 22:37–39).

Imagine a world where everyone looks out for each other, we would all probably feel delighted, successful, accepted and safe.


"A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. 


Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon. At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.


The teacher said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. 


If we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too." - Anonymous
