About This Quote
Those who choose to be servants know the most about being free. This quote is something I have heard many times over the years. I will never forget the woman who said it to me when I was in my early twenties. Her words forever changed my thinking.
She told me that those who choose to serve others, and do so with great respect and gratitude, tend to learn about freedom much more than those who choose to be selfish and take for granted their privileges. When we first think about freedom, we often immediately think of our own liberty and rights as individuals, but this is just the beginning of what freedom truly means. Freedom is not just an option but a responsibility that we all have as citizens of this country and as human beings on this planet.
As citizens, we should understand that as equals, we must work together as a team to better our community and our world. It is important to be active participants in any effort we make to make our lives better and help others around us do the same.
