We all must play our part to help this world be a better place.
Giving is one of the most important aspects of our spiritual growth, especially when we look at the progression of the human race as a whole. World’s population has surpassed 7 billion, and out of those, more than 1 billion people lack adequate access to clean drinking water and an estimated 400 million of these are children. That’s more children in the entire world without water than the entire population of the United States.
More than that, 80 percent of the world population lives on less than $10 a day.
It would cost approximately $40 billion to offer basic education, clean water and sanitation, reproductive health for women, and basic health and nutrition to every person in every developing country on Earth. The World Food Program says, “The poor are hungry and their hunger traps them in poverty.” Hunger is the number one cause of death in the world, killing more than HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.
We all must play our part to help this world be a better place. It is nothing but common sense. “Do what you can but do something”
should be your new motto. Being a strong believer in reincarnation, I urge you to help all of our fellow humans in need who we have neglected lest you turn into them in your next life. When you live a life of pure excess and wealth without giving something back in return, that is bound to happen.
It is crucial that we become more aware, more conscious, and more involved in the lives of others. After all, we are all connected. We’re just mere strings on the violin of greater cosmos. Each and every living thing on earth that suffers or causes damage contributes to the negative vibration in the symphony. When the music is all in perfect harmony and rhythm, then the concerto is a masterpiece.
Play your part in this concerto and the human race as whole will become divine. Only 1 billion out of 7 is fortunate enough. If only each one out of that 1 billion set out to help at least 6 suffering humans. It’s simple math. Your involvement will make this world a better place and change it for the better
That is the progression we could all be proud of.
