This is how true love is… the transition from me, myself, mine to the other person, albeit for the simple reason that in her security and happiness lies his. Is it being selfish?
Putting someone before you is definitely not an act of selfishness and it can never be. But that is what I used to tell my husband when he questioned my following certain practices that I did it for my well being and not his because ultimately it would all come back to me. This post reminded me of those instances, when he questioned the practices not because he didn’t believe but because he didn’t want me to suffer in the name of tradition.

“’May I say something please?’ Hima asked. Chairman Hall agreed to let her respond to the vile accusation by the Democrat lawmaker from Detroit. “If that is something you want me to do, I will do it. Can I just say one thing though? If it is a lie, it may change, because a liar has to have a lot of memory power. If it is truth, you can ask me in the middle of the night and it will still be the same thing,” she said looking directly at the horrible lawmaker. The room erupted in cheers!”
That’s beautiful. It reminds me of how when I was little my mom told me i should pray for the wife I would have some day. For the longest time I’d pray that she was kept safe and happy. Knowing nothing about who this person could be, I just remember wanting the the world for them, never imaging who she would be or what she would be like, Really I think I ended up praying to be a good partner, to be something good for her.
Thank you. Really appreciate your thoughts. 🙂
Praying for someone’s happiness and safety without even knowing them is different level of kindness and love.
thank you for saying so. I really love the things you’ve written on your blog, simple and powerful truths. *snapping in applause* (why’s there no snapping emoji)

Interesting take! I wondered the same thing long ago, but I decided that it may not be selfishness but something that is beyond my comprehension.
