Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, this time of year is the one time that everyone seems to share a genuine concern for each other. It is this Holiday spirit that can sustain us all throughout the remainder of the year. The modern trend of western socialization supports feelings of “I” instead of “We”. It is during the Holiday Season that these thoughts are transposed. During this Holiday Season and the coming New Year, may the trend be reversed; may we think more of the “We” than we do of the “I”.
To start this process, let us embrace the simple concept that giving is better than receiving. In doing so, we benefit not only the recipient, but also our own sense of self and self-worth.
Happy Holidays to all our readers,
