We will all agree that an empty house must look like this: the inside dirty, with spider webs across the walls of the house. The floors of it being filled with the excrete of wall geckos and rats. Cockroaches running haphazardly across the floors of the rooms, but all these will change once the owner returns.
This is exactly how a person without a helper is. An individual without a father or mother, and having an aunt or uncle who is separated from him. This may be because of some issues within the family. His life will be filled with many needs and inadequacies. He will need to struggle daily, in order to meet his needs. If he has a family, he has to struggle more in order to meet their needs. This is what some people face in the third world countries today.
My heart is heavy and my eyes dim of vision when I saw some of my brothers and sisters feeding from the dumping ground. It is an unbelievable sight, but I was faced with a reality. They buy, sell, eat, bath, and even sleep there. What a life! I couldn't imagine a human being living there, but this is what I saw with my naked eyes.
What or who could have been responsible for this ?. Is it the unwanted guest – death which come when we are not prepared. May be it is the one, that claimed the lives of the parents of such people early in life, before they could bring them up properly enough, or issues from their extended family, which could have led to their departure from home. It could even be the rulers of their nations, who are characterized as being insensitive to the cry of their people. I sincerely do not think any of these factors are responsible for it, though they may contribute to it. Death, is a natural factor we can not control, quarrel or fight within the family is bound to happen ones in a while, and government being insensitive or sensitive can not take care of all the needs of the citizens. So, as the empty house used in the beginning to illustrate this unpleasant state of some human beings, will be made clean and habitable once the owner returns. So also these people who live in this unpleasant state will get better when their owner returns to them with a smile, who is God. This is one of the time we can not hold any body or government responsible, or being guilty of an incident. This made me become amazed how nature can play such a role in the lives of such people and leave them with no choice to correct it. I wish it is not this situation in which such people deserve a pity, but it turns out to be so. Nevertheless, we should try to help such people as this, who are not comfortable around us. It may be the only way to show we are superior than nature, by showing such people love.
