Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us.
Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
-- Henri Amiel
When I surrender, I am no longer captives within my skins.
I am actually restored to a more natural state as people in community with others, who literally cannot survive as isolated individuals.
I must be a part of the give and take within the group, just as it has been for human beings since the beginning of time.
Today, I surrender my self-interest again, knowing I must do it over and over.
