HELPING AND GIVING DEPEND ON HOW YOU FEEL. IF YOU FEEL GOOD IN DOING SO, THEN DO SO… AT LEAST YOU DO YOUR PART AND IN GOOD CONSCIENCE.

It has been our culture and Christian values to help those less fortunate but sometimes they became very much dependent and took advantage when one clearly recognize their needs. The bible says, do not give fish to your neighbor every time they need it, once is enough, instead we must teach them how to fish… When we learn about the difficulties faced by the oppressed people in Africa, and in many other parts of the world, we find ourselves thanking God that we, Filipinos are free people. We are hospitable, we help one another and the term bayanihan is still alive in our culture. But we must also know that each one has an obligation to ourselves, to our family, to the society, to our nation and to God. Sometimes we often say that we don’t want to help them but its in our God fearing conscience that dictates us not to neglect them. In our own little way, we still tend to give them, to help them not because we are obliged to do it but for kindness sake and humanitarian consideration. It depends on how every person conceive the suffering of their neighbors, and cope up with what the situation demands. Lina Law is good only to those Land Lords, but to those less fortunate, Lina Law will never exist. So its difficult to find Law that applies in their situation…because Law is the effort of humanity to create principles, and thats the Law of Good Samaritan, where the less fortunate that they are always focus on the principles of Human Rights. I hope you wont mind If ill give you these phrase in the Bible that says: MAY ISANG MAYAMAN AT ISANG MAHIRAP NA SABAY NANALANGIN SA SA HARAP NG DIYOS…ANG SABI NG MAYAMAN, “PANGINOON, SINUNOD KO ANG SABI MO NA IPAMIGAY KO ANG AKING MGA ARIARIAN AT NAGBIBIGAY AKO NG MALAKING HALAGA SA PAGAWAIN NG SIMBAHAN, TUMUTULONG AKO SA MGA DUKHA, HINDI AKO KATULAD NG ISANG TAONG NARITO NA WALANG SILBI, MAGNANAKAW AT WALA NAITULONG SA KAPWA”, SAMANTALA ANG ISANG MAHIRAP NASA ISANG SULOK AT NANALANGIN NG TAIMTIM, AT ANG SABI “PANGINOON, PATAWARIN MO AKO SA AKING MGA KASALANAN”. Sa palagay nyo, sino sa kanila ang pinagpala ng nasa langit?
Although, helping the less fortunate is never a solution to cover up the mess with what the people in our Government is doing, where we are in the ERA of Graft and corrupt that threatens to envelop in the entire bureaucracy of our government, still we are in the ERA where TOO FEW HAS TOO MANY, AND TOO MANY HAS TOO LESS…WE are in the ERA where there are few islets in our society, in an ocean of extreme poverty, social and economic inequity. What can a certain Juan dela Cruz contribute in making of a nation, to be totally free from hunger, a truly free and just society?? A society that every Filipino can live decently and can never be discriminated by the entire human race…The question is: DO WE HAVE THE BOLDNESS TO BEGIN??
