Do we, as people, understand what it is to be self-sacrificial? The idea of becoming someone geater or somthing valueable is a society covers the hman eyes with greed, selfishness, and pride. Anyone expects another person to undestand his/her point of view, when all along we do not try to understand others. The way we are taught to survive in this world is to protect our selves; the world tells us "the Survival of the Fittest".
Our mindsets do not end in thinking individually but it has become the very core of the developed countries. We say "All men are equal." but what does it mean to truly equal? The current approach that we have taken hinders the hearts of men. We have to learn how to accept other cultures and revealing the truth. "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28 states the great commition. God specificly gives orders to spread the gospell by his way not ours. We know perfectly well that we must embrace cultures and allow other cultures to embrace ours, but we close the door. Can people truly become one? Can we truly love eachother without selfichness? That is what is left in our hands.

An interesting post. You always grasp the reader's attention. A thought popped into my head when reading your blog, Aaron. Yes, there are things that God wants us to do for His glory because we are His creations. But He also gave us free will, didn't He? I think that God gave us 'free will' so that we aren't trapped by His laws but we can explore the world and see what God has created. Some may fail to see, however. I guess your question asking whether we can truly love each other with selfishness really hits the point and at the same time give insights to the readers.
Amazing post.
