“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” <<<
NOPE..the question should be...WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOURSELF!
As my dear departed mother used to say......If you cant take care of yourself....You cant help anybody!!!!!!!!
>>>As my dear departed mother used to say......If you cant take care of yourself....You cant help anybody!!!!!!!!<<<
Which reminds me.
My Late Mother used to say, “you take care of People who CAN’T help themselves, not People who WON’T help themselves”.
Her Sister, my Aunt was blinded by Glaucoma when she was in her early 20’s. Back then the only thing they could do for those afflicted is remove their Eyeballs to relieve them of the Pain. The pressure in the Eye does not stop once you are blinded by Glaucoma.
My Aunt worked most of her life sewing Garments in what we would consider a Sweat Shop today and she was very independent.
She despised the idea of People feeling sorry for her. She lived by herself for 20 Years after the death of her Husband. She died at age 89 and was as sharp as a tack.
Sounds like we both knew some tough Women. #;^)
“As my dear departed mother used to say, if you can’t take care of yourself, you can’t help anybody.”
Very wise.
