[Quote No.29053] Need Area: Friends > General
"My mother always said, 'Leave the world a better place than you found it.' Your mother probably said that to you, too. Take a moment right now to think about what you are currently doing to make your world a better place. But remember - we're not talking about things that make the world better for you. We're talking about making it better for others.
That's the essence of goodness, if goodness has any value at all: taking pains for other people.
So how, exactly, are you doing on that score?" - Michael Masterson
Successful entrepreneur

[Quote No.29065] Need Area: Friends > General
"The seven deadly sins/vices are the opposite of the seven life-giving virtues. Each life involves these conflicting traits struggling for dominance:
1- PRIDE/VANITY vs HUMILITY: Seeing ourselves as we are - with ego-less objectivity and not ego-enhancing subjectivity. Being on guard against being competitive towards others rather than to our previous selves, especially comparing ourselves favourably to others. 2- AVARICE/GREED vs GENEROSITY/GRATITUDE: This is about more than money. Generosity also means encouraging and giving credit and praise to others. It means never wanting more than your 'fair share' and sometimes happily accepting less. Gratitude helps people be happy with whatever they have without trying to take what is not theirs.
3- ENVY vs LOVE: 'Love is patient, love is kind...' Love actively seeks the good of others for their sake. Envy resents the good others receive or even might receive. Envy is almost indistinguishable from pride at times.
4- WRATH/ANGER/IMPATIENCE vs KINDNESS/COURTESY/PATIENCE: Kindness means taking the tender approach, with courtesy, patience and compassion. Anger is often our first reaction to the problems of others. Impatience with the faults of others is related to this.
5- LUST vs SELF-CONTROL: Self control and self mastery prevent the desire for pleasure from becoming destructive to others and ourselves. This can be increased by improving an individual's ability to concentrate and focus on what is desired rather than what isn't.
6- GLUTTONY vs TEMPERANCE/BALANCE: Temperance accepts the natural limits of pleasures and preserves this natural balance. This does not pertain only to food, but to entertainment and other legitimate goods, and even the company of others.
7- SLOTH vs ZEAL/PERSISTENCE: Zeal is the persistent energetic response to positive goals." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com
