Our natural instinct is rarely the right actions to follow
for other’s sake. Our natural instinct
is to love those who love us, but it is also to hurt those that we perceive as
hurting us. And maybe to hurt them a little
more. We may think with our desires and
drives. Self-control is taking time to
consider the best course of action. And
loving self-control is considering what would be beneficial for another in a
certain circumstance. To love is to take
time to think what is good for all, not just to react.
Opposite: To be impulsive and to defend that impulse no
matter who we hurt.
Do we ever take time to really meditate about what others
need or how we can help them? Is love
only something we do on impulse? Are our
impulses mostly self-serving or other-serving?
How can we create habits that would assist others on a regular
basis?
