YOU HAVE NO REASON TO
HELP THE DISABLED ONES?
Are you one
of those people saying they have no reason to help the disabled and the
physically challenged ones?
Even if you
don’t care about humanity, this is more of a reason to
do so. This picture I
took on my voyage recently. This poor man has no legs. He takes each step
within the range of 20-30 seconds. Tears rolled down my cheek when I saw this
man moving slowly like a snail. Immediately I put myself in his shoe. I try to
see through his eyes. I realize this man is not only lame physically but also
psychologically. I wonder what he would be thinking each day about himself.
I said
he would probably be lamed psychologically because his mind may be amputated or
disabled also. Who can’t be in this sorry state? Absolutely nobody! But grace
speaks for me and you. It can happen to me and it may happen to you also, but
we thank God for making us whole and for preventing something like this to
happen to us. The question goes thus: as we focus on ourselves, do we snub or neglect
people like this in the SOCIETY? Is hope alive for them at all?
I asked myself, “Am I better than
this man, or has he sinned more than I do?” but I observe NO was always the
answer. All I have is that I enjoy grace and privilege a bit more than he does.
I also got to know that one of the ways I can be thankful to God is to reach
out to people like this in the society. Touch their lives and give them reason
to smile, and the reason to live.
Are you still there underestimating the power of your action?
Do you still think you cannot contribute to humanity unless you become one of
the wealthiest man? You think because human race is cruel AND CALLOUS, you wouldn’t
contribute your quota in lifting the dreams of the less-privileged?
Hang this rightly on your neck: “to whom much is given, much
is expected..." Although you might not have much in terms of finances,
know that you've been blessed beyond measures through the gift of life. Today,
rise from your zone of comfort, ignorance and ingratitude, and radiate the
effect of such a blessing to those who don't have the same privilege you enjoy
by grace. IS hope alive?
Your happiness and rewards should come when you see the
unhappy becomes happy, the hopeless becomes hopeful, and when you touch a life
to put smile on “the face” again. Raise someone’s hands today and see where
your hands would be.
