About This Quote
This is one of the most misunderstood advices. It's like it's written in a different language for everyone. I've read it several times and never understood what he meant. Believers if opt to practice Favoritism will fail miserably to build a relationship of Mutual Trust & True Respect for themselves. Why? Believers can't build mutual trust (trust between two people) Without mutual respect (respect between two people). It's an advice about building relationships, but I quote it as an advice about building relationships with God. The most important thing in the world is having a relationship with God and living according to his word (the word of God).
But you can't build such a relationship without mutual trust and respect. Believers if opt to practice Favoritism will fail miserably to build a relationship of Mutual Trust & True Respect for themselves. And we need this relationship with God because we are sinners and we don't deserve his love and mercy (we sinned and we deserve the wrath of God). Believers if opt to practice Favoritism will fail miserably to build a relationship of Mutual Trust & True Respect for themselves. Trust me, I'm not saying you can't have those things with those who don't believe in God...
But those things aren't as important as making sure you have those things with those who do believe in God! And I think Nelson Mandela didn't write that as an advise about religion, but about practicing favoritism towards those whom we consider close or family members. Believers if opt to nactuate Favoritism will fail miserably to build a relationship of Mutual Trust & True Respect for themselves. What can happen: Believers choose to favor one family member instead of another one, even when they know that this favoritism is unfair towards the other family members who are struggling with their own problems... This results in no trust or respect from these other family members towards believers...
And this means that believers fail miserably to build a relationship with them... Believers if opt to nactuate Favoritism will fail miserably to build a relationship of Mutual Trust & True Respect for themselves.
