About This Quote

If you use the scriptures to destroy your environment, they become a liability instead of a help. The writers of the scriptures were merely trying to teach us to be kind and helpful towards people, but those who were influenced by them became selfish and cruel. To be kind means that we should try to help people without expecting anything in return. In contrast, being selfish means that we think only about ourselves and what we can gain from others.
