Something That Needs Remembered

People seem to forget how to treat each other.  Not make assumptions.  Not put themselves above others.  Realize that we all have a very limited view of the world and if we continue to draw conclusions based only on our own individual view then we're going to make a lot of mistakes.  If we continue to focus on what upsets us and refuse to look at the positives, refuse to look beyond our own assumptions and insecurities, then we're going to be miserable and make those around us miserable.

"Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.  But as for prophesies, they will come to an end.  For we know only in part, and we prophesy only in part; but when the complete comes, the partial will come to an end.  
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways.  For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face.  Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.  And now faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love."  I Corinthians 13:4-13
