'One selfish soul
One selfish soul
Love is always ready to deny itself, to give, sacrifice — -just in the measure of its sincerity and intensity.
Perfect love is perfect self-forgetfulness. Hence where there is love in a home — unselfishness is the law.
Each forgets self, and lives for others. But where there is selfishness, it mars joy.
One selfish soul will destroy the sweetness of life in any home.
It is like an ugly bush in the midst of a garden of flowers.
It was selfishness that destroyed the first home and blighted all the loveliness of Paradise; and it has been blighting lovely things in earth's homes ever since.
We need to guard against this selfish spirit.
