For us to be able to scratch the surfaces of love, we have got
to understand the depths of wickedness. We may not appreciate the heart of
mother Teresa until we get to discover the mind of Adolf Hitler. Until we learn
to love and give we haven’t truly lived. The problem of the world today is that
we have grown so selfish and uncaring, we have an insignia on our forehead
which says “deal with your problems, it is not my headache.” We have forgotten
the old wisdom that reads “someone’s problem is everybody’s headache.” A shared
burden becomes lighter. What we all refuse to stand for, we will
collectively fall for.
Sometimes in life, it is not what we do that matters; it is
what we refuse to do. So it may not be about what we choose to say sometimes,
it will be about what we choose not to say. One of the hard regrets of life is
to look back and realize we could have done much more than we did because we
have been told to live for ourselves alone and just ignore other people. A lot
of times, we miss out on our angels and we become allies with demons. So just by
simply epitomizing love, you have no idea how much you have helped yourself too.
When you live and love you are also doing yourself a great favor. So just a single
act of kindness may not just bring a smile to someone’s face or feed them or
even give them assurances about the future, it may also be a life saver for you
because every good turn deserves another. Every
good act will always get a reward in life.
A man was said to
have jumped into a river from the top of a bridge somewhere in the United
States. I guess he was done with life and he planned on taking it. He was tired
of life for reasons that are unclear. Immediately after jumping from that
height trying to get himself drowned, it was reported that some passerby saw
him and jumped into the river after him to save his life. Only for him to
realize that he could not swim! The so called helper jumped into the river
before realizing he did not know how to swim. As the so called helper was
drowning, the man attempting suicide had to go over and save his life. Can you
imagine how someone who needed help eventually became helper? He thought he was
done with life.
Here’s the thing, the
so called helper was too consumed with helping people such that he jumped into
the river without realizing that he could not swim. What a great guy he
was!
Dear friends, create an experience for someone today. Make a
call, inspire someone today, and choose to be a helper. You have the capacity to
create change in the lives of people. Live and love!
