"WHO NEEDS HELP. WHO NEEDS FOOD. WHO NEEDS MEDICINE. WHO NEEDS HELP, RIGHT NOW" My Entry to an Essay contest.
Everyone needs help. It is said that the world is sick and desirous of a cure but in the real sense its the people who are and these people make up the world. Just like people need a friend, so does everyone need help. Human beings are human and so there is always a need which is resolved as a result of HELP by someone in one way or the other.
Despite our beautiful make up and attires, we are made up of bones, something which the world cannot see but we are aware of the fact that we need some flesh either by making some one happy or by being an aid to our 'own self'.
The street isn't clean, it is characterized by people who smile to cover their tears, who wet pillows but follow trends, those who starve due to lack but look robust, those without a reason to laugh but make merry, those who have lost hope but identify you as their only hope. Everyone needs help, everyone needs food, medicine, but needing it right now depends on the urgency and how basic this need is. Abraham Maslow hierarchical arranged our needs, with the basic being food, water, shelter...
Everyone needs help right now because most people think about themselves before others. The true nature of man places himself first before others. Those who need help and have no one around to lend a helping hand are the ones who truly need it. Those who can't afford a meal or even medicine to treat their wounds are the ones who truly need it. The influential and affluent always have people around, so they get Better aid but those without a bit of influence or anyone to call theirs are the ones who truly need help.
The world is full of people who have lost their voice, hope, desires and dreams and have chosen suicide as a remedy, these people need help but they can't call out for it because it seems the world has turned their backs and friends haven't been there. The motherless babies who committed to crime but were dumped in the trash, need help... The orphans who get adopted n their lived transit into greater hell are in deep need of help, the girl or male who is sexually abused because he is not your relation is in need of help, the child or teenager who is innocent but is ripped of innocence is in deep pain and their years call out for help. Persons silenced and frame for a crime they know not, staying behind bars need help. Children that see alphabets dancing on sheets and are colour blend or slow in learning... Children with dyslexia need help. They suffer greatly but if you have never experienced it or even seen them, you wouldn't understand that their mere look is crying out for help.
What about the blind, deaf, dump, cripple n paralytic, persons who cant afford hospital beings to save they one they love and can go the extra mile of begging for alms. Or the old woman having a faint sight holding a walking stick with high blood pressure, she cant cross the road without an aid or even afford medications for her blood pressure, the little money she saved, she uses it for her grand children who have lost their parents.
The list of people needing help is never ending, some being weighty than others depending on your preferences. The world is in need of help. Everyone needs help but how urgent is yours, could it be as bad as others or as critical As a man whose wife is about to die and all he needs is money for surgery, a sum that others spend on mere shopping, and he cant afford it, eventually his wife dies or is it like those children deprived of education because they don't have parents and d society is not ready to help.While you walk on the road, look left, then look right, not for the sake of crossing the road but observe and feel what your neighbours go through and be a HELP.
Everyone is a human being but not everyone is human, be human and you will see that many people need help and you may be the help they have been praying for.
Thanks for Reading
@kafkanarchy84 Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts!
@aerick, I think that you did a fine job with the writing of this contest entry. However, you may want to add some additional paragraphs giving the information asked for in point 2 of the contest rules below:
You can't possibly help Everyone with 100 SBD, so you need to select one specific group or individual, describe their situation and why they need the help, and what you would do with the prize to help them.
This is a really great summary of the article. I love how you have worded it.
I've upvoted and resteemed this article as one of my daily post promotions for the @mitneb Curation Trail Project. It will be featured in the @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report for 18 JAN 2018.
Cheers!
Thank you very much
I'll do that immediately
