If we do things to make ourselves more comfortable, happy, etc. without regard to what happens to others, then that is bad. If our efforts to get the things we want also help others and that is our goal, then it's not bad.

I still think that it isn't right. But maybe as humans we can't expect anything more. Christ was never selfish and we were commanded to be perfect as He is. The Church helps us be less selfish. I can't think of any areas where the church encourages us to be selfish. We are encouraged to keep a balance between work, family, and church, but we do nothing but serve in the church. I'm interested to see the other parts to this thought.coolhandlukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660912739308505050noreply@blogger.com
