I found Mother Teresa's oath at her memorial house in Skopje this week, the city of her childhood. It spoke to me, and reflects the selflessness I am learning it takes to truly give to others...
Man is unreasonable, illogical and selfish
It doesn't matter - love him.
If you do good, they'll say you're selfish.
It doesn't matter - do good.
If you realize your goals,
You'll find false friends and just enemies
It doesn't matter - realize your goals.
The good that you do will be forgotten tomorrow
It doesn't matter - be true.
Honesty and sincerity will make you vulnerable
It doesn't matter - create.
If you help people it might be bad for you
It doesn't matter - help them.
You give the best you can to the world
The world repays you with punches
It doesn't matter - give the best you can.
If you do good, they'll say you're selfish.
It doesn't matter - do good.
If you realize your goals,
You'll find false friends and just enemies
It doesn't matter - realize your goals.
The good that you do will be forgotten tomorrow
It doesn't matter - be true.
Honesty and sincerity will make you vulnerable
It doesn't matter - create.
If you help people it might be bad for you
It doesn't matter - help them.
You give the best you can to the world
The world repays you with punches
It doesn't matter - give the best you can.
