Love People, Not Things

"What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things, instead of using people and loving things."

 When I came across this quote, I had to stop, reread it, and then thought about what I had just read. How true this statement is! Today, in this crazy fast paced world that we live in, we have a tendency to forget what really is important, and the basics of what we were taught as children. If everyone would just take the time to behave towards one another as we ourselves would like to be treated, life would be less hectic and chaotic. People would respect one another, and the love of things would decrease.The stress to be the best, regardless of who gets stepped on in the process, would be less because everyone likes to be treated with respect. No one likes to feel like a door mat and be walked upon. Even the little things add up. So as you go through daily chores, and come in contact with other people, remember to treat them as you would like to be treated. Don't let the love of things take priority. Put the love of people first and use things not the other way around.
