Our relationship with others is about KINDNESS.
It is easy to act only in our perceived self-interest. We feel that ‘If we do not look out for ourselves, who will’?
In an INTERRELATED WORLD, we are obliged to also look beyond ourselves.
In the Talmud, Rabbi Hillel wrote, 'If I am NOT for myself, who will be? - But, IF I am for myself, ONLY - What, then, am I?'
We are links in a chain. [The fate of each link affects the fortunes of all others.]
There is INDIVIDUALITY, but NOT INDEPENDENCE.
We are dependent upon each other at every turn. OUR INTEGRITY AFFECTS THE INTEGRITY OF THE WHOLE.
We are EACH A PART of a ‘system of relationships’ that embrace our family, friends, neighbors, business associates, organizations, communities, nations, and family of nations.
No single object or entity exists independently.
WHAT WE DO TO OTHERS, WE DO TO OURSELVES.
BE PATIENT and KIND.
