2. LIVE FOR OTHERS
๏ข It is better to live for others rather than for ourself . We are all
part of society, and we should value every member of it . In
the Bible it says: "Love thy neighbour as thyself". This implies
caring and acting for others as much as you care and act for
yourself. Caring for others is part of society. Sure, you can put
the needs of others above your own, but generally it's best to
put the greatest needs at the top of the list, and work out
which of those you can make a worthwhile difference to.
Often, these will be your own needs, and sometimes they will
be the needs of others, or maybe working as part of a larger
group to deal with a more general need. So you could say
"take care of yourself as you would take care of others."
because when you take care of yourself you make yourself
more able to take care of others .
5. HOW WE CAN HELP NEEDY PEOPLE?
This is a complex problem. It is one thing to feed a
hungry person a time or two. It is quite another thing to
solve the problem of poverty. It will never be completely
solved, but this does not mean we are to do nothing.2.
Here are some things that could be done. Feed and help
all we can. Use influence to help find and create jobs.
Try to educate and provide training for needy. Demand
laws that prevent discrimination on the basis of gender,
race, physical fitness. Help gather food and clothing.
Help with babysitting Elect people who are sensitive to
the needs of the poor. Realize it cost less to educate
people than it does to imprison them. Try to be less
wasteful Try to overcome a holy thou feeling toward the
poor. Use skills to reduce living expense of poor. A
simple repair bill can create great hardship on the poor.
