Two seemingly contradictory beliefs that we actually must strive to hold simultaneously:
- You don’t owe anyone anything
Meaning: you do not have to make yourself suffer for the convenience of others
- We owe each other everything
Meaning: we could not survive without each other and everything we do to help another is crucial to ensuring our own continued survival
You don’t need to be a doormat, but also don’t get comfortable slamming the door when you have the resources to extend a hand instead.
