"We do not seek, nor should we seek, our own glory even among those whose approval we desire. What we should seek is their salvation, so that f we walk as we should they will not go astray in following us...So we seek no advantage for ourselves when we aim to please men. We want to take our joy in men--and we rejoice when they take pleasure in what is good, not because this exalts us, but because it benefits them." St. Augustine

Why do we seek to please others?  For our sake and benefit or for the glory of God and their good.?  It is all in the attitude and the intention. Too often people use others without regards to the other, but for some selfish gain. This does not benefit them or benefit us in what really matters, our eternal salvation. Instead of being our intercessors before God on the Day of Accountability, they will be our accusers. Seek to please God and others for their eternal good and we will be judged mercifully by God.
