Humanity is the word we hear very often, but little did we know that the word humanity is derived from a Latin word humanitas for “human nature, kindness.” In today’s world of concrete jungle, virtual world where we all are connected by social media nothing seems to touch us, we always feel there is no humanity left. Probably we all are too busy to see through people’s pains and needs.
It may be true in few cases, in every day walk of life where we have stopped showing emotions and feelings for small things as we do not have time to pause and look around. Humanity is as small thing as a smile of gratitude; it need not be every time something very big or involve monetary rewards. We may not be giving heed to small things in everyday life but at the same time when human race is hit by some adversity our heart gives out a cry and reaches out for people who are in need.
We all try to extend our hand of kindness in different ways by charity, donations sometimes even handing out food packages, medical supplies whatever the need is and how much ever we can do. Citizens always show tremendous courage during the times of misfortunes. That does not mean that humanity waits for misfortunes and adversities to hit the humanity race. Small actions like visiting orphanage and spending some time by storytelling or handing out small things of their wants and needs is also an act of humanity. If we visit some old age homes some of them are so emotionally fragile your smile can cheer up their day and make them happy, spending some time with them and supporting them is also an act of humanity.
Tiny tiny acts of honesty, courage, fairness and selflessness lights the torch of humanity. We also must have done some acts of humanity like if we have hit a car and no one is around we leave our number so they can contact us, offering food to the needful etc. Today we all are facing global crisis not only fighting the virus, also many people are facing mental break downs and financial problems so help people around you in which ever ways you can. Humanity is not lost in the world. Human race has existed so long due to the word Humanity. Where one door closes there are many more doors open, let the humanity embrace you. Humanity is above all the religion, let the torch of humanity never extinguish.
