Rabbi Akiva wants us – every jew to focus on treating others how you would want to be treated

To put oneself 2nd. In the Tish Ba Av Kamtza Bar Kamtza ultimately a persons feelings got hurt and others at the party failed to see / to feel what the one who got thrown out of the party out

Without empathy / real sadness for the feelings of another? There truly can be no Nation.

An Am relies / revolves around each person giving just a bit to some one else – to the land – to the government – to the laws. We are not to give 100% of ourselves; but also not to be 100% only for ourselves.
