“The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.” George Bernard Shaw

As we live and mingle with our fellow man, it is a part of our humanity for we as human beings are a social creature. Indifference to the needs of our fellow man is indeed a great sin for we all as human beings are siblings with one another.

Only barbarians speak unjustly to the needs of one another. We are here on earth to help those handed a raw deal in life. Life can be unfair to many as they live from day to day here on planet earth.

Our founding fathers made it clear in our constitution that we all as citizens of this country are equal in the eyes of God. In our declaration of independence, inscribed in her writings is the fact that we the people are created equal as citizens of this land.

We must not try to put ourselves above another for we all share this world together. To feel for the poor and the beaten down should be our priority in life. For many have been dealt a bad hand in life, it is for us to help them get back on their feet.

The law of the jungle implies that the strong survive however; this law applies to animals not human beings. We must live beyond our natural instincts and live by our humane and compassionate traits we inherited from our ancestors.

To let our hearts rule our lives is an unwritten law that should imply to all of us as human beings. We are as God’s children a part of his overwhelming creation for he created us in the image of himself.

We must look at ourselves as a family for we are the family of man and should treat our neighbor as our siblings with the same creator.

“Home is the place where boys and girls first learn how to limit their wishes, abide by rules, and consider the rights and needs of others.” Sidonie Gruenberg
