Forgetting oneself

In order to think of one’s partner, one’s children

August 3rd 2024
When children are very small, their only concern is being fed and playing with the things around them, and as soon as they are crossed, they scream and cry. Children are selfish little monsters – yes, but at that age, it is normal and natural. Adults, the father and the mother, understand that they can expect little else. If, however, a child continues to behave in the same way when it grows up, it is scolded or even reprimanded, because it needs to change and stop thinking only of itself. Later on, it will experience the need to be part of a couple and then have children.
Why has Cosmic Intelligence arranged things in this way? To persuade people to look after others besides themselves: a husband or wife and children to start with. But how many people have understood the lesson that Cosmic Intelligence wants to teach them? How many people are able to forget themselves a little, and sincerely think about their wife, their husband and their children in an unselfish way?*
