In our world today, we observe normally good
people pushing and shoving for position and power at the expense of others.
For some, the daily battle to be "The
Greatest" or The Best" often causes jealousy, rancor and strife. In
her extensive writings, late 19th century theologian Mary Baker Eddy counseled:
"Competition in commerce, deceit in
councils, dishonor in nations,
dishonesty in trusts, begin with “Who shall be greatest?”
"The imaginary victories of rivalry and
hypocrisy are defeats.
We are brethren in the fullest sense of that word; therefore no queries should arise as to “who shall be greatest.”
We are brethren in the fullest sense of that word; therefore no queries should arise as to “who shall be greatest.”
"Let us serve instead of rule, knock
instead of push at the door of human hearts, and allow to each and every one
the same rights and privileges that we claim for ourselves. "
As the Master, Jesus of Nazareth said,
"Love one another."
