There are
certain things we cannot decide, some of them include who our parents are, their
status in the society before our birth, country in which we are born, where
natural disasters happen and a lot of others that we know. All these and more sometimes
make people in those situation or circumstances unsafe.
We who are opportuned
to be safe, healthy and okay have a moral obligation to help, to render
assistance to those in need, to create and provide a better life and condition
of living for them. What is the essence of living if we cannot bring smile to
the faces of others, if we cannot tend their wounds?.
I see life
itself as a gift from God, none of us who are okay today gave ourselves the
right to existence, it came naturally, so why can we not make that living
experience happiness and joy for the closest person to us who we know is in
need?.
As the
lyrics of a song by a group of renowned musicians in America goes ” we are
the one to make the world a better place so let’s start giving”, also the words
from the Holy Bible says “it is more profitable to give than to receive”, the little
display of this act could go a long way in stopping the different vices
committed in our society by young minds who need help.
No matter
how small it is, no matter to whom, where and when, engaging in this in a long
run would bring happiness and relief to whoever it is offered to. Take for
instance the flood that disturbed the south-south and Northern part of Nigeria,
it would not take anything for people not affected to give so those people
affected can be catered for, but instead, some of the people employed saw it as
a means for them to enrich themselves.
Until we
begin to understand that it is not only the people that we are biologically
connected to are our brothers and sisters, but also our neighbors, people in
our community, state, country and continent at large, we would not be able to
live or co-exist in peace, no matter where we find ourselves.
