Becoming a better person.

 


For some reason, the act of service has truly been in my mind lately. How can I become more charitable? How can I give, and not expect anything in return? As humans, we have such a carnal and selfish tendency to always seek that which benefits ourselves. But the Savior taught through word and example, to give. To serve. And he gave his life, no, he *sacrificed* his life, as the most ultimate example of pure love and charity. But we know, it's not easy. In fact, it is very contrary to our animalistic human nature to be charitable, if we resorted back to our 'survival of the fittest' tendencies. Someday I hope to be able to speak and act in charity, at all times. I hope to become the kind of person who puts others before myself, instinctively.
