Thoughts of the day

         In the Book of Mormon we read about a wicked king named Noah. In Mosiah chapter eleven verse three, we learn that the king's selfishness caused his people to pay one fifth of all they possessed to support him in his iniquities. What could my selfishness require of others?  Could I be taking a portion of their good feelings they could of had, if I had been more pleasant?  Could I be causing the poor to suffer even more, because I am unwilling to share? Could I be withholding my services to someone that could of been blessed by me? Are their people who are in need of my compliments or praise?  Even my example could be stealing away a portion of what my influence could of had on them.and what they were to become. I hope in my life I am giving instead of taking away.
