Cue Card answer:
Helping others in need, in whichever capacity that might be, is certainly a great act of “charity”
. In
fact, in my opinion, it is the “act of charities” among many of us, that has helped our human race
survive from becoming “extinct” so far on a planet called Earth, which has been proved out to be
pretty hostile sometimes. But, do we all always help ea
ch other equally? “No” is the straight forward
response to this question, simply because we all are different, and we all live under different
circumstances.
However, when it comes to dedicating one’s whole life to the cause of uplifting the humanity in
order to bring some smile on the faces of millions, if not billions, we can talk about the life of Mother
Teresa in a heartbeat. Having born in the year 1910 at a place called “Skopje” in the Republic of
Macedonia, “the mother of humanity”, lived in Ireland
for a brief period of time before moving to
India where she lived most of her life.
I have never really met Mother Teresa, one of the most revered philanthropists of all time, if not the
most, personally, but when I first came to know about her at my elementary school, I developed a
tremendous respect for the “symbol of charity” of the 20th century. As I grew older, I began to learn
about her charity works which created millions of loyal disciples not only in India but also all over the
world. But, I became even more interested about Mother Teresa, who pretty much changed the idea
and trajectory of charity/missionary works, after learning how she got the Noble Peace Prize award
in 1979, and how she didn’t attend the ceremonial banquet for the award but asked
instead that the
$192,000 fund be given to the poor. In fact, later on, during my college years, I chose to write an
essay on this “great avatar of love and compassion” in my language class.
Being a devout Christian, the “symbol of selfless work”, fed tho
se who nobody else was prepared to
feed, sheltered those who nobody else otherwise was prepared to shelter and treated those who
nobody else was prepared to touch and look after. Having started her charity works by begging for
funds at times, Mother Teresa the Saint, never stopped her charity works in order to fulfil her
mission of serving the poor needy even when she was old, weak, frail and physically ill. With more
than 700 charity missions throughout the world today, the greatest “charity organizer” of
all time
will be remembered for her extraordinary efforts, unparallel passion and dedications, who managed
to bring people of all religions, races, castes and creeds in the cause of humanity like no other in
human history.
