what do you fill up on?
in response to stephanie's comment on my last post...
i won't retract my statement about selflessness being the most attractive quality in a person, but the comment does bring up a very important distinction, that being: once a person is emptied of his/her own self, what does that person fill him/herself up with?
i agree, someone who tries to be selfless to everything to everyone is not attractive. it shows indiscretion.
at the same time, i would not ask someone to empty themselves for me. in my honest opinion, to ask that would be selfish... and i guess, hypocritical. i don't want to sound preachy, but for me, there is only one thing worth emptying myself to and that's God. as an extension of that, apparent acts of selflessness towards other people are simply manifestations of my life being filled with God.
