I was reading this week and came upon this section in Romans
Romans 15:1
1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
This line of scripture has a deep meaning to me. It is an affirmation that those who are stronger than us are admonished to help bear us up just as much as we are admonished to bear up those we can.
I think I'm a previous posting someone had touched on the topic of helping others, and possibly not being able to help others as they are on their own journeys. I know that I enjoy supporting others when I can, and helping others succeed. I also know that so often it can seem like the weaker one we are assisting may only be playing a game to get something for nothing. I have developed a theory on this. I believe that those who use guile to succeed are not as advanced as those who self motivate and achieve. Furthermore I believe that it is a self esteem issue that precluded these types from believing in themselves enough to put forth proper effort to be self sufficient. This is speaking only of the beguiling, and not of the truly needy.
I have been helped by genuine souls in this life, I have lovingly helped brothers and sisters achieve through I disagreeistance as well. I do believe that we should help one another to traverse this life.
Can anyone echo any of these concepts from their perspective and respective faiths?
