NUM92 Help others to fulfill their potential. Since loving our neighbor involves wishing for others what we wish for ourselves (see pages 12–13), we need to do what we can to help others achieve their goals. Sometimes we hold back out of fear that our peers' achievements will come at our own expense. We all know, or have heard, of instances in which managers have refrained from promoting subordinates because they feared the subordinates might outperform them. Compare this behavior with an incident in the Torah. During the Israelites' sojourn in the desert, an unnamed man comes to tell Moses that two man, Eldad and Medad, are prophesizing. Although there is no implication that they are speaking falsely in God's name, or are saying untrue or irresponsible things, nonetheless, Joshua, Moses' top aide, says to Moses: "My lord Moses, restrain them." Apparently, he is concerned that the two men might become Moses' competitors. Unlike Joshua, Moses is not bothered, and he responds: "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord put his spirit upon them!"(Numbers 11:26–29). Moses' trust in God and his generous love of neighbor freed him from the ego concerns that cause many of us to act unlovingly to others, and to refused to encourage their accomplishments.
