From a scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, rate your self and the random person nearest you.
In other words, if you will put a value on yourself
and to that “other” person, from one to ten, what would it be?
Epiphany: Anyone who answers less than 10 from
either or both items will have serious problems.
Seeing ourselves more valuable makes us selfish and
uncaring, while assuming that someone is more valuable than us gives us
feelings of insecurity and self-pity.
If we don’t give our life and the lives of others
the highest value, then how can we be grateful of our own life and be
respectful of the lives of others?
When we have a mindset of everyone is equally
valuable, it is easier to be courteous and appreciative.
We don’t immediately focus on the flaws of another,
because we know she is still as valuable as we are, with or without the flaws.
We can easily respect another person’s opinion,
because she is privileged to speak her opinion as we are also worthy to express
ours.
We are not quick to defend our self when we are
misjudged, because we know our self and we love our self and we understand that
we will not be devalued by anything that anyone could ever say.
That’s why Jesus said that we should love our
neighbors as we love our self.
