What Were You Taught? Part 2

As we ran deep into the short embarrassed life of Junior, which was only a peak of what he had experienced due to the fact his family was poor, we saw him became that person he wishes to become in the future. However, something had been missing and it is about to catch up with him.

He was a star. A greater one. He shined greater than all of his other folks in his country. To measure his greatness, he won the Grammy Award once and it was the proof that he had come a long way. People would scream and faint during his performance on stage more like he was Micheal Jackson (Rest In Peace). But he had always had it at the back of his mind that since he made it out of the struggle he gave in and never gave up on challenges, any other human could also make it. He believed so much that everyone is the architect of his or her failure in life. While this was very true, accept it or not, not everyone is going to make it in life on their own. But he never knew this. He never believed it. Because of this, helping became a big problem to him.

He had many cars parked around his compound like he was selling them. He had private jets. He had many houses. Some he gave to Papa and Mama, which the basic truth is that they are only using 2% of the house they are living in. The better way to put it is to say "he was blessed". He had beautiful necklace worth thousands of dollars hung round his neck. Rings of unspeakable expenses worn on his fingers. But to giving the community, he was no where to be found. It was never recorded that he helped anyone because right from the little age, he was always fixed with the zeal of being someone in future so he could control wealth. He never thought of being someone in future so he could help the less privileges who are to be raised up before they can find their way. He could only give penny especially when he will benefit from it. He would always say in an interview or talk show saying, "If you fail, it is because you allowed yourself to. You have not been able to seize every opportunity you have seen come your way". Little did he know that he had never given any one an opportunity before. That's what was so missing.

However, it all ended when he died. He died rich and aged. It was like he was fulfilled in life. But he never left referrals to his glory. He never impacted anything reasonable to the community. He was like a shadow. Little did he know that lots of generation had been sentenced to a long poverty because of his ignorance.

In life, don't ever ignore the chances of helping your fellow humans especially when you have what it takes to do so. Living life for yourself only is the highest height of selfishness. While you dream of what you want to be in future, always have a slot in your thoughts to think if what you aspire of can actually impact something positively to the society. It is not necessary it should be money. But do not let your existence be gone without a trace. Helping one individual could mean you have helped a whole generation. Many people are waiting on the government to do everything for them in the country, state or community. Believe it or not, the government can never do it all. If you are lucky enough to be in a capitalist state, instead of driving around that riches of yours which we know you already possess, you can set up an hospital. You can set up jobs and so on. For the fact you are in that position has automatically given you such responsibilities, or should I call them obligations. Because other didn't do it for you doesn't mean you shouldn't for others.
