Minute 915 // Paper Cuts TODAY'S MESSAGE IS DEDICATED Psychiatrists say that much of what appears to be kindness is actually taking rather than giving. People may help in order to impress others, or perhaps to relieve a guilty conscience, or simply because they feel uncomfortable when viewing suffering—and so they remove it. It may appear as if people are giving to others, when they are actually helping themselves. In order to truly give, it is necessary to feel connected to the receiver. A link to another creates the desire to make the other happy. This is most commonly observed when a mother caringly gives to her offspring. .The way to “learn” this trait—the way to connect with others and empathize with them—is to strengthen our links to the Creator. Relating to Him, we feel small and insignificant in the big picture of time and space. We begin to feel dependence upon Him and a connection to others in the same situation—the human condition.
