What makes us the "humans" to be termed as human being? The classic definition says that human being is a social animal. Yes, we are social and we live in society and this makes us apart from all the other animals that live on this planet but have you ever thought whether this definition is perfect? According to me it is not. Man has made colonies by carefully observing ants, which make them, live in those and sustain for their life. Whenever there's competition we say "it is survival of the fittest!" that is the "jungle law". Is it correct? Even after this much innovation and technological advancements we still refer everything close to animals, is this justified?
I really pity sometimes whenever I see poor children begging whenever we stop at some signal in India. What has happened and why we do not care? We are turning everything into a jungle, where the carnivores (rich) are continuously exploiting herbivores (poor). When I was in India, I always use to hear from the people of another country that in India there are many poor people. When I came to U.S., I have seen a lot many poor people; the only difference is their appearance. Here the Government is supporting and is continually providing resources to uplift and maintain their GDP by providing free food stamps to the poor. I actually had an encounter with a beggar here, I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop and he asked "Brother! Do you have 75 cents?” I was not having change for $ 1 bill, so I politely replied "No Sir, but next time I will definitely give you". When I returned from the mall after buying my stuff, I saw him again and he was drinking Beer. Some of the people say, poor will always be poor because they don't know as well as they don't want to succeed in life. This is not true, everyone wants to earn money and live happily but there are many reasons behind their poverty. Either Government or people themselves.
Getting back to the point, Bill Gates (we all know this man as the world's "richest man") a true tiger in this forest as many of us have thought but he turned out to be an Elephant of this jungle after donating $ 2 Billion to charity, founding "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation". Why did he give such a huge amount to a charity? Why Warren Buffet (Currently world’s richest man) did also donated $ 30 million to the same foundation for social uplifting? There's always a point in life when money does not matter a lot when you have acquired a huge sum of it, so people donate for the betterment of others. I really do praise these prominent guys who truly know what to do and what not to do with all the money which they have earned so far. These are true humans, after achieving so much in their lives they have come forward to help others. We must all learn something from our surroundings and give back to society from where we came and still are living; not just keep fighting with each others on the basis of caste, color of any other socio-political agenda. There are many economies in this world which are still struggling for the survival of their people. There’s no food, water or any other basic necessities available to many of the people in this world. We all are Humans and we must act like ones!
