A few years ag# there was a study made
by ene of the telephone conpanies to see
what word was used the jnoet invconversa
tion* They discovered that far and away
ahead of all*ethers was the word "I”, In
fiye hundred conversations the word had
been used 3>990 times averaging about
eight times a conversation* Perhaps this
might surprise some of us and yet others
completely expect it*
Because of this self—centeredness,
quite common in human relations suggest*
ions have been made very fiften to try to
tone it down* Perhaps all of us would be
mildly shocked to see how difficult it
would be to go through one single day
without using the word ,,IW*
However, in a matter like this, care
has to be exercised for all of us have a
very natural God given obligation for
self-respect* In fact, toward our neigh
bor our obligation is> to love them as we
love ourselves* Merejflp to take an attit
ude that I will try not to be so self
centered may not be the answer.Certainly
it would be a good startjbut it would be
well to replace that s elf-center edne ss
with a respect for neighbor based
upon a love of God.To give consider
ation in our social and economic
life to the needs of others will
eventually result in a pretty fair
balance of things.
We have our own self-respect to
maintain, that*s true,but certainly
the preponderance of nln indicates
that we are taking pretty good care
of self.Maybe all of us could start
swinging the balance a bit toward
our neighbor,and, doiag thU for
supernatural motives, can actually
result in the greatest respect for
self, namely, the respect for our
eternal salvation.
