TWO HALVES
Today I am reminded of what enlightened me a few years back.. and lead me into the memory lane - An old lady who used to sit opposite a Masjid near Milan subway in Mumbai.
🌸
*Giving is living.* Give someone a smile to hang on to, give a hand to hold on to; give a shoulder to cry on, give a reason to lean on..
Moving on from there:
Charity. Just a good food for thought.
*A small charity is no big deal. It's a basic human duty.* Do it individually. One for one, one on one, ends up helping one and all. (Don't donate to NGO and wash your hands off, you be a one-man / one-woman NGO yourself and make the difference!)
I see this thus:
This world is divided broadly into 2 categories.
No, not male and female; not rich and poor; not 'ucch' and 'neech'; not 'harijan' and 'girijan'; not even Hindu and Muslim... *it's just the 'haves' and 'have-nots'.*
*Two halves.*
Haves and have-nots are not necessarily the rich and the poor. Haves are resourceful, viable, feasible and utilitarians. Have-nots are downtrodden, helpless, suppressed and needy.
*They both co-exist and co-exit.*
And hence,
Goodness of a 'have' is to GIVE so that a 'have-not' can LIVE. Godliness of a 'have-not' is to BLESS so that a 'have' can feel the BLISS.
If every 'have' takes care of one 'have-not', each of the have-nots is taken care of. And there by, half the world is taken care of.
And the other half?
😊
Isn't it then, a win-win situation?
Pick one. Make one. Today itself. His/her tomorrow is not far away. It's in your closed palms. Just open it. And hand it over. 🌻
"We are not born as humans, we are born to be humans."
Let's be.
🙏

It can count its blessings.
