People have been compared with islands – sometimes because of the isolation, but you can think of people as a self-sufficient world.
Yes, we
need other people and only a handful attempts to live isolated have really
worked. However one thing is to connect and live with others out of need;
another thing is to have so much to share and to be open to what others have to
share. It means we are all rich…
I am not
talking about physical wealth: some people’s richness comes from their virtues,
other people’s wealth is their talents or their lifestyle, but in essence, we
are all rich people! That is a big change of perspective.
The other
person is as rich as me. That means, they don’t need me and I don’t need them.
We are
different worlds and by sharing what we have, and accepting what others share
we may build a wonderful relationship.
So, just
think: what do I have that can enrich
others?
Now, in
relation to the people with whom you have a relationship: what do they have that is enriching my life?
