certitude

why would i be awake at this time of the night pondering about this world that we live in- the hypocrisy of our self-acclaimed representatives in every level? Because I BELIEVE.

I am speechless. Moved by the work of others and spellbound by the power of humanity. All the work I see these extraordinary people do reassures me that there is so much more in life and that I can lock hands with them and move along in keeping the beat of the drum- the hum of being able to spread the work of humanity. It makes me feel more humane more content to who I truly am. Think about it for just a while, had it been me who was the one disfavored and afflicted with hardship; my integrity and dignity would have been ripped apart for there wouldn’t be any soul lending a hand. Yet, there are those who are selfless in this world of rat-raced life. There are those who stand on guard to thee; who bring about from a life-changing help to a heartfelt gesture of kindness!
I believe in me, for I see so many more people out there trying to do as I aspire to. People are there to care and love; hold on to the light of hope for those whose world going dark. It’s most amazing how the mind works. When one does or receive an act of kindness, his/her heart will be filled with tranquility and joy. And this joy my brothers and sisters, is very different than the joy of owning the most expensive sports car or jewel you could ever imagine. It is different for there is that kinship tied, that connection of love made; when one gives selflessly of who they are, of all they own in knowledge and service. This is the ultimate humane act; to give of what you have for those who don’t.
For me to be able to engage and help seemed far away when I always thought of it; since I always say there is this and that to accomplish before I go ahead and do some work in helping others. But it wasn't until recently that I realized that act of kindness and being able to share of all I seem to love is a matter of opening the gate to one’s own heart: it is to be kind to oneself. It is ultimately being able to accept who you truly are; that you are truly human: feeble and frail. In effect, you will definately know what it is like to be that person who was disfavored and afflicted; because you are a human being who is prone to protect your dignity for if you loose it, you loose the key to being humane.
