Reminder I am not a Preacher, Minister, or Priest
“But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful” (Luke 6:35-36).
People have tendency to paraphrase, trying to comprehend people might set the combination to give and expect nothing in return.
If someone gives training, education, a lesson. Expecting nothing out of those that are learning might lead to less learned. Burdens for students not all good, giving a safety message without people realizing dangers and being safer is a level of expectation.
If I give to a Charity, I don’t always have the time of day and motivation to track down and make sure every penny is used ideally for all parties. That said I give and I expect it to get to and help those in need. Less people suffering set to an expectation, one shouldn’t invest in?
If a Preacher gives a sermon, expect nobody to be saved, nobody to learn from the value delivered? Does Faith equate to expectation, expectation on things that cannot always be proven, have truth amplified on in ideal lights? If a Preacher is helping someone on one side of town he is taking it on faith that others on the other side of town are done right by, no faith could lead to constantly stuck in the middle never helping anyone in the process.
There is value in expecting nothing in return. People that give don’t want to be leverage to others. Expectation is not always ideal leverage out.
If you are a CEO and have 1000 employees. All of them set to giving their time, days of their life freely, expecting no salary in return does not seem like it would amplify Golden Rule sufficiently. Less dehumanization and slavery turned up matters, gets less than ideally turned up in society as shown via historic precedent, Humanization and Dignity, not treated as a slave factors into the Golden Rule. People have fought and died for Human Rights because they think it is a cause worth dying for – if someone is willing to die for it then they are worthwhile to invest in protecting for all.
More Human Rights and Dignity invested in, in advance, will likely lead to less desires for change and war, less desire for change and war factors into peace. “Blessed are the peacemakers…” – Matthew 5:9. There are likely others in society that might like to invest in similar words as well, what is given is more than what is seen and read.
Reminder writer of this document is Human, might be missing something critical.
Computers, mouse click, expect nothing to happen? Red light turns to green light, not teach others to expect people will move forward? Expectation might lead to not walking into the street.
