DON'T DO FOR OTHERS WHAT OTHERS CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES?
DON'T DO FOR OTHERS, WHAT OTHERS CAN DO FOR THEMSELVES?
THIS IS A GENERAL RULE. HOWEVER, ONE MUST ALWAYS USE FLEXIBLE INTELLIGENCE IN GIVING OF ONESELF TO OTHERS. IT WILL ALWAYS DEPEND UPON THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATION. IF, FOR EXAMPLE, SOMEONE REFUSES TO USE THEIR CAR IN RIDE SHARING. IS IT SELFISH? WHAT ARE THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATIONS? THE PERSON MAY HAVE FEARS THAT PREVENT THEM FROM USING THEIR VEHICLE IN A RIDE SHARE OR THEY MAY BE 80 YEARS OLD AND BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE FEEL PHYSICAL INCAPABLE OF GIVING OF THEMSELVES BY SHARING THEIR VEHICLE WITH OTHERS. IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATION AROUND WHY OTHERS REFUSE TO DO FOR THEMSELVES. SOMETIMES, IT'S IMPORTANT TO SET BOUNDARIES AND SAY NO IN A LOVING WAY AND SOMETIMES IT'S IMPORTANT TO USE FLEXIBLE INTELLIGENCE AND DETERMINE IN SAYING NO IS IT INTELLIGENTLY FLEXIBLE!
