You may ask "What's the point?" In all honesty, I've asked that question myself. I came to the conclusion that if I were in that situation, with no home and little resources, I would probably desire for SOMEONE to just look at my situation and feel enough sympathy to lend a helping hand. SOmeyoimes life just throws curve balls that are hard to dodge, and once hit, you can't get up without help.
Another view I have concerning helping the less fortunate is, is your time really more important that a soul that could be potentially lost because of the lack of hope they reap from their situation? Absolutely not! One hour you spend extending your hand to a person could literally mean the WORLD to a person. knowing that your words and actions have the power to turn a miserable person has no hope, to a person who lives a life worth living is a very powerfully touching reality check.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but a right can turn around a wrong. Some people don't give their time, energy, and life because they have had a bad experience before. "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike"... everyone at some point has a bad experience, the key is to look at the bigger picture; one experience doesn't equal out to millions of hurting lives LIVING that bad experience. You have the power to change that experience around. Make that wrong into a right by reacting correctly and biting back at the evil that was done in a positive manner. Does that make sense?
In conclusion, no one deserves to live in misery. Our world can literally be changed for the better if everyone gave just a little bit of their time to recognize the hurting people around us and give an encouraging word here, a sack lunch there, and an overall act expressing kindness .
Change lives. be a world Changer. Spread love!!
