Philippians 2:3 New International Version (NIV) 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselve
I don't ever remember my mother or the other women in the neighbour hood always talking about "MY body" , "My rights", "My dream house". My , MIne , I , ME . Everything they did ,they did for others first. The fathers too , they were always working hard for there wives and thier families. Not playing games or sitting on the internet. Couples got pregnant at inoppurtune times they still had the baby. It was a person they could share the future with , not a piece of property they could throw out or keep . I never heard my mother refer to me as "my baby " or "my Tommy" It was just "Tommy" , I was a person. It wasn't up to her to let me live or die and I wasn't a possesion to brag about or be ashamed of. It wasn't "all about me" in my mom's world . It was all about others. I think they had it right.
