LOVE is not SELFISH

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

-1 Corinthians 13:4-7

  

We were given the question,"If you were Paris, would you ask Helen to come with you to Troy?" 

If I were Paris, I would not asked Helen to come with me to Troy. I should have think the possible consequences if I will let her come with me to Troy or not. Asking Helen to come with me to Troy would not be beneficial to other people.


In the story, Paris is too selfish because he follows his heart's desire that leads to Troy's downfall. He should have think the welfare of the majority before his own desire. Love takes a lot of sacrifices. Sometimes we need not think if we'll hurt. What's important is we have loved.
