Overcoming Pride by Helping Others

Money can be called evil. Those who read the Bible think that the rich do not go to heaven.  This is because money is evil and we should not have money. However, work gives us money.  This means that work is a bad thing. Following this logic can take us too far.

But when I think that money is an opportunity to help others, then by earning money and thinking of others, I can eventually use money for a good cause.

Ambition is a bad thing, some say that politics is all lies, and it’s not a place for an honest person. We are ruled  by dishonest people. But ambition is a desire to achieve a lot. When I use my post and my position to help others, then it can have enormous benefits.

When are we moving away from God?  This is not related to our personal ambitions. 

It occurs when our ambitions are not balanced by love for others.

When I want to develop my self, I try to develop my best qualities. However as I do this, it is important to remember that I am also part of society and part of civilisation.

When I help others, then I am overcoming pride.

How to Cope with Stress News by S. Lazarev How to Cope with Stress
The phrase «relax, everything will be fine» is unlikely to calm a person who is on the verge of a breakdown. Rather, it will further increase scepticism and indignation. It is especially difficult to pull yourself together, not fall into despair and stabilise your emotions, when tragic events occur. It forces you to replace the real picture of the world with illusions.

Why Didn't Christ's Disciples Understand Him? News by S. Lazarev Why Didn't Christ's Disciples Understand Him?
Jesus Christ often spoke to the people in parables. Parables did not have ready-made answers. Even the closest disciples could not always understand their meaning and turned to the Teacher for clarification.
