Look to your left, and then look to
your right, look at all the people that are around you and ask yourself, when
you will be in trouble, when you will need help the most, when you will fall,
who will be there to help?
Out of all these people, who will help
you get up? Who will help you recover? Who will help you carry on?
The answer is not one that will be to
your liking, in all fairness, chances are that nobody will.
This is something that the needy cases
of humanity, the poor, the powerless, the abused, the prosecuted know all too
well, and for them this is a way of life.
“Waking up every single day and
wondering whether it will be your last is not as intimidating and as
disheartening as it first seems when you also know that there is not much to
hope for anyway.” These were the words of a 7 year old girl which was doing her
best to survive in the poverty that surrounded her.
A
hand well given is a hand well received
There are organizations out there that
are doing their best to help, organizations like A Giggles Welfare Organization, doing their very best and fighting
with all their might and all their resolve to not only keep things afloat but
also help the people that really need helping, and while their success is
encouraging and hopeful, the truth of the matter is not as comfortable and as
easy to swallow as we may hope.
These organizations are dying out.
They are all understaffed, they are
all lacking serious amounts of manpower and they are all struggling with each
and every passing day to make sure that they will be able to carry on helping
the people that need help the most.
What’s
wrong and what can be done about it
Charity work and volunteering today
seem like a waste of time for the people out there that are interested in
financial gain, wealth and career progression.
For them, time is money, and
organizations like A Giggles Welfare Organization cannot give any to them. They cannot afford wages, they cannot
financially compensate the people that come and help, hey function on
donations, and often times the donations themselves are not enough to satisfy
the needs of the people that they are trying to help.
So more and more people turn away from
this cause.
The
expected outcome
It’s not looking good for humanity,
and the way things are going, we can only sit here and wait for the inevitable
to happen, all the people that cannot help themselves will slowly but surely
cease to exist, and their legacies, their cultures, everything that made their
identity in this world visible and felt will be gone.
Unless people find it within their
hearts to look around and see all the problems of humanity, and roll up their sleeves
for once in their lives, and step down into the field and lend a hand, then we
as a species are doomed to lose our very humanity.
