A SHARED LEGACY
A SHARED LEGACY
Build each other up; support each other, and encourage one another.
These must be the primary goals of any organization, whether a family unit, a club or association, church or school; or even city, state or nation.
The health and vigor of each individual cell contributes to the health and vigor of the indivisible whole. Pump up the person, and the person will, in turn, pump up the whole. Neglect the person and that person, or unit, will neglect the whole.
There is no one standard for all.
Each cell or unit must be individually assessed, loved, nurtured, attended, instructed, disciplined, and endowed sufficiently to assist itself, first, as a preliminary matter, before it can be reasonably solicited for assistance by the whole; or be expected to be of material assistance to the whole!
This lesson many groups, of all kinds, must learn, and re-learn. Vexations, taxations, and burdens do not bless those who are burdened, indefinitely.
Empowering each person, or unit, is empowering the whole. Good fruit will yield many more good fruit seeds!
The seed is not greater than its fruit, nor is the fruit any greater than its seed. Theirs is a shared symbiosis and legacy.
