When we act selfishly, it inspires selfishness, and keeps us separated from God and those around us. But when we act lovingly, it inspires love, and unifies us with God and those around us. We should always try to act in a way that inspires love in those around us; toward our family, our friends, and as hard as it may be, our enemies as well.
