Topic: Bearing One Another's Burdens

One of the best ways of being sure we bear one another's burdens is to always be unselfish enough and concerned enough about others to carry their burdens. A selfish person does not carry the burdens of others unless made to do so. An unselfish person always looks out for others. An unselfish person always seeks out the burdens others are carrying. An unselfish person can put others first. The act of unselfish giving and receiving assures mutual burden bearing. To bear another person's burden we must be willing to unselfishly give and receive love, caring, kindness, and compassion. To bear another person's burden we must be willing to unselfishly help others carry their load in life as well as be willing to let others help us carry our load. To bear another person's burden we must be willing to listen to the problems, cares, and worries of others. To bear another person's burden we must be willing to ask others if there is anything we can do after we have listened. To bear another person's burden we must be willing to give 110% of our efforts in helping others. When we bear another person's burden we must be aware others become stronger when we help them become stronger. When we bear another's burden we must remember others become weaker when we prevent them from shouldering the burdens and responsibilities we all must carry. Helping another person carry their burden is a great deal different than carrying another person's burden for them. In helping another person carry their burdens we must recognize there are some burdens each of us must carry on our own. Persons of every age learn maturity and responsibility when they carry their burdens, not when others carry burdens for them. Persons of every age become strong enough to bear the burdens of others by first learning to be unselfish.
