Life is a journey from human being to being humane.
As said by Mahatma Gandhi: “Humanity is an ocean; if few drops are dirty, the ocean does not
become dirty” –Mahatma Gandhi.
Humanity is the path to happiness. A person performing deeds with concern for humanity will be the
happiest person on this planet. Serving people with humanitarian considerations provides a lot of
satisfaction to a person’s life. The real happiness of a person is the result of inner satisfaction. A
person doesn’t have to be wealthy in order to show the qualities of humanity. Any person can show
their concern for the world through kindness and love.
Have you heard the term ‘humanitarian crisis’ before? A humanitarian crisis can be defined as an
emergency situation that threatens the well-being of an entire community or a large group of people.
Some of the major causes of humanitarian crises include global warming, pollution, lack of
biodiversity, the war between nations, the outbreak of diseases etc. A majority of such crises are
happening as an aftereffect of people’s negligence toward humanity.
“You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate – the
unloved and the unnatural!” These are the final words from the final speech in Charlie Chaplin’s
The Great Dictator. With the power of humanity within us, let’s comprehend the truth behind the
statement – ‘We rise by lifting others.’
