(Personal effort / taking action)
When Joseph's brothers arrived in Egypt during the famine in Genesis 42, they didn't recognize him because he held this powerful position.

(Giving of themselves / serving others)

(Purify their hearts / forgive him / NOT sell him into slavery)
In stoichiometry, the limiting reagent runs out first and shuts down the entire reaction. According to the oxygen mask lesson, a person who never builds self-reliance becomes the limiting reagent in their own life — meaning when someone next to them desperately needs help, they will instead offer them THIS.
(A blank stare and a shrug)
