STEP DOWN

i dare you to wash someone else's feet. figuratively? literally? does it matter? the point is, how about we take a day or so and just give others priority over ourselves? and yea this does tie into the last post very much so. but the entire idea of being lower than others stems from the concept of love. and now you dont want me to get started on love because i will fill up 10 blogs talking about it. but basically the idea of love is just that. you place importance on showing people so much respect almost that you just start being there for them, and realizing you are better than NO ONE. nothings separates you from another person. no matter how many organizations you are in, charities you support, good deeds you have done. take yourself off the pedestal and give it to someone else. Because when it all comes down to it, they could deserve it a lot more than you. AND ME. i'm not excluded from any of this, i gotta do the same thing. sacrificial living. living the life we were called to live? not full of priorities, but making others our priority. a flaming love that lights everything that it touches on fire.

Obsessed with YOURSELF.

Why are we so self obsessed? Selfish? Do you deny it? I didnt think so. It's something i've been thinking about for a while now and then it was touched on to a degree tonight. We see nothing but ourselves. My clothes, my car, my job, my life, my friends. MINE MINE. It's all ours. We see everything as ours and are willing to share nothing but what sucks is that this applies to our time and selves to. we don't share our time and we dont share our selves. There are people dying around us, reaching our all over the place. Go ahead. say that there aren't. but wait before you do.. OPEN YOUR EYES. We're part of this aching world that is bleeding bleeding so much.. and should we have nothing to do with it? We need to reach out a little bit more. put OTHERS before ourselves for once. We don't always have to come out on top. maybe for once, we can help someone else reach their goals - help someone else come out on top. Maybe we can create a smile or wipe a tear - maybe we can listen for a second instead of filling the air with static-like noise. Instead of putting blinders on and looking forward in tunnel vision, we can take them off and see how bad the tunnel looks, along with how many people are right there with us. Next time you get into a fight, let the other person win. Because in the end, what do you really have to lose? Your pride? I think we can all afford to lose a little bit of that. bleeding yet?
