Above Your Own Good...

We may or may not be familiar with this statement " Put the good of others above your own good." What does it mean? This is to denote that when one is already have made progress in life living like a good Samaritan or busy helping those who are in need were among the few who believes that life can only be fulfilling by placing the good of others above one's own personal good.

But this doesn't mean completely abandoning the care for oneself, what is only emphasized in here is the knowledge and understanding that makes one capable of doing such a tremendous amount of selfless action. If we'll look at the life of hundreds of Saints who have been gone off to the other world have done much for the welfare of the lesser class of our humanity. They stood behind these group of people who were considered abandoned by the society. They live and die with these people. They devote their life in service of the poor and the helpless.

It may sound too strong for the common people to grasp and absorb this principle, but when we begun looking at life in the larger picture we will perhaps be able to see the differences existing around us. We may all be living a life better off than the rest of humanity but we can't really ignore their presence. Our poor fellowmen were the grass root of our society, they were the laborer and worker who toiled endlessly in the field that we may all benefits the fruits of the earth.

Their sacrifices is beyond our comprehension and what they've done are paramount. Looking at this picture we may somehow lean our head and consider extending our hands and make them feel that they were never forgotten. They are our fellowmen that works so hard to alleviate the many burdens of the world, and yet they selflessly carry the loads on their shoulders without remorse.

Let us look around and find out what we're missing, our life will never be complete if we will ignore our poor brother and sisters out there toiling under the sun.
And if by chance and opportunity will strike us, let us try to place their own good above our own even at least for a while...no demand.

Let us answer the calls with a listening ears and an open heart...selflessly.
