We are so focused on ourselves. Everyone is out to top everyone else in what troubles or suffering is really about. "Oh, you think you have it bad? I can top that- listen to this . . ." I get it- whatever is going on in our lives is the most important to us. Too bad. It's our loss.
You know what really counts? Others. It's about time we dropped our own introspective worldview and opened up to those around us. If we would just look at the world through their eyes and stop naval gazing, we'd be so much better off.
Jesus was such an amazing example of this. He left all he had in heaven to become one of us. But even while he was with us in person, he concentrated on others. He washed his disciples feet (a lowly task of the day) because he was concerned about them. He gave up all so we could be brought back to a positive relationship with his Father.
I've been told the world's smallest package is someone all wrapped up in themselves. Sounds about right to me.
