Giving Back To Humanity

in GEMS3 years ago

Your abilities, your talents, your endowments are all gifts by nature but your own gift back to nature is your goodness towards humanity. When you are gone, you are remembered for one of two things depending on the choice you made; it is either they remember you for the problems you solved (through your acts of goodness, etc) or the problems you created. The former will make your memory to be blessed but the later will not, so you have a choice to determine how posterity will remember you.

Blessed memory and good posterity are not gifts, they are earned through the choices we have made. Believe me, if your absence is not felt when you have gone, then you did not fully maximize your presence. Your acts of goodness is what you give back to humanity. The fate of humanity rests on our willingness to take the responsibility to do good at all times.

The wrong things happening in the world is a direct indication that comparative goodness is being withdrawn from the hearts of humankind. The truth is, the only thing that is needed for bad to continue happening is that the people that should do good do nothing. To save our humanity, we all have duty to rise up and do good.

Doing good should not be an act that you do because someone else has first done it to you, nor what you do in anticipation of receiving good, but what you should do unconditionally. Remember, you are doing it for humanity and as such, it should be without recourse to expecting gains in return. The beauty of doing good is when the good is done without having the expectation of returns from it. I once told a friend:

You do not do good just because you want to receive good but because of the sake of humanity.

For the kind of world you deserve, you have to start by being the kind of person that the world deserves. The world can become a lot better if only the good people can act instead of being silent in the face of evil. One evil done to one person is like an evil that has been done to the entire humanity. Same also applies to the good you do to one person, it is like the good you do to the entire humanity.

For goodness to prevail in the world, you have to start from your own goodness. Remember this; the world is only but a sum total of the goodness (or badness) of the individuals that make up the world. This is why you should do you own part of make the world better by doing good.
