To so many of us we just take life for granted, never being so cautious about what we do, what we say and even being reckless to think about the harm we can cause to those who need us.
Of late I have met different categories of human species. To be specific am critical about this group of people who either think poverty does not exist on the face of earth or it's either their language teacher to blame for giving a totally different definition and meaning of the word poverty.
Many families that I have met of late through Matanya's Hope the organization I work with, have heart-breaking stories to tell. How else can we break the cycle of poverty or better still the cycle of human suffering if we are not ready to chip in and be active in practicing the will of God.
I thought as per the teachings of Christ we were meant to love our neighbours as we love our own selves. Since when did this change? When was the end date of us as Christians to stop minding about our brothers and sisters in need? I myself haven't heard of such a date. But interestingly enough those who are responsible of guiding us and teach us the ways of Christ have chosen to do otherwise. Does working to enrich our own lives solve any problems our neighbours have? Why have we forgotten about of brothers and sisters in need?
Is governance to blame for the sufferings in our homes and community at large? What does the leaders of the country have to do with our own negligence at both our homes and places of work?
In my own judgement I would say we have failed in our responsibilities and turned to blaming everything on either our government, economy and the global climate change.
Real change to our problems will only come if we realise and accept to take the blame. Let us welcome the change no matter the cost because it is because of our own negligence and ignorance that the problems and challenges we have exist.
Many of us will not agree with this but the truth remains that we are responsible for a great and bright future. So let each and everyone of us play his/her role the way we are supposed to and always be ready to accept to be corrected whenever we go astray.
May we also ask God's guidance in all we do.
