There's nothing wrong with being used...

Through my many experiences and developmental opportunities, I realize that I will always have a desire to be in a position to give back.  So many people get caught up in the philosophy of "not being used"; but I can honestly tell you, there is nothing wrong with being used. Now, when you are misused or abused, there lies a problem.  I pray to always be available to help others.  See, to me, it doesn't matter how great or how small; if I am able to help one, then I am fine with my life.  We have to really move from the independent mindset that has infected our society and return to an interdependent aggregation of life; once again, placing each other in harmony, versus the need for material gain.
