Serving Others

"A child is served, but maturity means serving others." - David Brooks


Brooks encourages us all to be less self-serving and more attuned to the needs of those around us. Family life, when it is truly rewarding and worthwhile, is based on serving the needs of others. This is in contrast to the "me" generation in which service has been replaced by self-expression and self-indulgence. Life is most rewarding when consideration for others is the center that holds.
