The temptation is to appropriate others ideas as our own .. or yes .. to minimize their influence on us .. haha .. we see this every day in our area of work .. as for some reason .. it’s as though somehow it makes us stronger or more original .. oh but friends .. we are all products of our experiences with others .. that’s the way God made us .. to help and lift each other up .. not in some of what we do .. but yes .. in all of what we do .. so yes .. we love each other with an honest love .. and yes .. we acknowledge those who have helped us get to where we’re at today .. for yes .. by doing so .. it repays their gifts .. and yes .. enriches our soul .. haha .. there’s a Vietnamese Proverbs I love that simply states .. “when eating a fruit .. think of the person who planted the tree” .. for yes .. haha .. oh yeah .. love wins period
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests .. but also to the interests of others”
