Share Love; What's Your Definition Of Love?

Love can heal the world

I have just 2 windows In my room and whenever I look out from the physical window; all I see is competition, oppression and hatred among the people around.

The other window is my internet which I must tell you that the news on the internet is same as the news I receive each time I look out of my physical window.

I begin to ask myself; why is the world full of competition, oppression and hatred. Does it mean we can not live a life of love and harmony where everybody will be comfortable?

I can hear people say; "some people must be poor for the world to balance", If that be the case then abject poverty needs to be eradicated for the world to balance also.

But some parts of the world aren't doing anything to eradicate abject poverty, as far as I'm concerned; abject poverty is the most dangerous threat to life and the fastest killer of man.

What can you do to contribute to the mission of closing the gap between the rich and the poor? We must not leave it to the government or charity organizations alone, every human can contribute to a better world and make it beautiful for everyone to live comfortably.

The government has placed a standard to the earnings of it's citizens, making it difficult for them to be rich or very rich; this is for the easy control of the citizens to obey the law, for this reason the government might fight abject poverty but won't like to eradicate poverty, so they will have more people dancing to the sound of their drums. But if we take it as a task to create opportunities, support each other, give free information, subsidize training & tutorials, give donations, give tips e.t.c we would be giving meaning to lives.

We owe nobody nothing I know, but life is like a mirror, we receive what we give out; making people happy will bring joy to you, making people rich will bring wealth to you.

Law of attraction: what you release comes back to you.

What are you releasing? Release what you expect to come back to you. "I hope you release love"

Let's join our hands together in oneness and unity to locate those people living below $1 daily and raise them in whichever way we can, you might be asking; how do I help them when I don't have enough money for myself. It must not be money alone, it can be materials, value, assistant or help.

We might not see people living in abject poverty where we live, but if you believe such people exist, it's very helpful to search for them online/offline and verify the authenticity of their information before going ahead to bless them.

"Blessed is the hand that gives, than the one that receives"

Many people have lost their lives in hardship or struggle to survive a financial challenge, I believe there are people around them that would have been able to help them survive that ugly situation but they didn't, my question now is; are they happy to see someone die of hardship? Some people's response are always: It's not my business or after all, he/she is not related to me.

Let me make you understand that if you are in a position to help someone have a better life and didn't; you have failed to keep the ultimate commandment which is 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself'

What joy will you get to find out that the person you refused to help yesterday lost his life in the struggle to have a better life?

When you give you can heal faster emotionally, but also physically. Honestly there is a joy in giving or helping someone achieve his or her dream.

When you decide to help others you will benefit the most because you will derive an amazing joy.

Do you know that giving is like a spot light shinning towards a mirror and at the same time the light is illuminating to the other side, when you give value, money, material e.t.c to people they become happy but you become happier, they are blessed but you are blessed more. "The joy of giving last longer than the joy of receiving"

Let's look at some benefits of giving.

* Giving makes you happy.

* Giving improves your health status.

* Giving is contagious

I have given a lots of points about the first benefit above so let me talk briefly about the the second and third benefits above.

Obviously giving improves your health status simply because; 'anything that makes you happy improves your health' and nothing can make you happier than being the source of someone's joy or seeing someone you helped succeed in life. Can you imagine how happy you would be if a student you once paid part of his/her school fees graduate as the best performed student?

Giving stabilizes blood pressure and lowers stress level.

Giving is contagious: A person you gave to or helped will believe in giving and helping others because he has been in that ugly condition and knows how painful that condition can be, to be specific; he is experienced in such situation so he won't want to see someone else go through same situation. He will do everything possible to help someone else survive that ugly situation he once faced. 'If you have been there, you will understand me more'

Nothing can be more beautiful than making this world a better place, when we join hands to bring out those people living in extreme poverty, we are being a blessing to humanity.
