Kerala is a
state known to be God’s own country. A state with the richness,
lush greenery and beautiful natural setting faced the deadly natural disaster
that washed away almost everything. Government is estimating 35000 crore loss
for now and expects that it can go more. More than 1.2 million people are
displaced and close to 500 people have been killed in this catastrophe. Majority of people
have lost almost everything. It is so heartbreaking to see the situation
in the news.
From all over
India and from abroad people are extending their compassion through cash and
kind. Relief work is on and we pray the Rehabilitation work will not be impeded
by any hurdles but restore things to normalcy at the earliest.
While I was
watching the news, I was caught up with this extreme gesture of compassion by a
man who goes down on his knees so that women and children enter the NDRF boat
and be saved to a safer place. It was such an act of kindness that can move any
heart. In such crisis we are able to see the
extreme portrait of kindness, love, compassion, and the ethics of
human being displayed so naturally and originally.
This is who we are, God has created us with
the expression of love, only such situations remind us of who we are and our
identity in God. We cannot predict our life tomorrow but we can choose to live
a life that can bring harmony and joy in all of us.
I was also caught up by a comment made by a man in
a social network which is so real and emotional. If you notice we are fighting
day in day out over religion, race, ethnicity and things that doesn’t matter at
all. At the end of the day it is the people who are there to save and help each
other.They can come in any form, navy, army, fisherman, police personal, Ngo’s,
nevertheless they are mere human beings who are extending
a helping hand.
Can we put our differences and be
compassionate and loving to someone who needs a helping hand?
Express your prayers and act of kindness
