Contriving to have our way is the root of all of our problems today. Any day. Every day. "I came not to be served, but to serve, and to give my life to set others free." Free to be what? To do what? To be who they need to be, doing what needs to be done in each situation as it arises all their life long. How free is that? It is as free as we can be. Free to serve the good of the whole. Free to serve the good that is good. In each situation as it arises, throughout our life. How good is the good we call good? Whose good is served by the good we call good? We live for whose gain in mind? Whose profit? Whose advantage? Who is better off for our having lived? Who is worse off? Who are we living for? Who are we living to be? What are we living to do? What do we mean by the life we are living? What are we saying by the life we are living? Are we here to serve or to be served? Whom/what do we live to serve?
