1321 Words6 Pages

Everyday there are more people killing, more families being torn apart, more discrimination happening in the world. There are nations dropping bombs and children being killed by poisonous gasses. People die because they have nowhere to live and nothing to eat. Now people just care about making money, being famous, popular. We segregate others because they don 't think as we do. We lack understanding and fairness. We lack the most fundamental virtue any human can posses, love. And it might sound so cliché and worn out but we really need love in this world. We 've lost it and we need back, desperately. We need a real love that overcomes all evil, one that makes you better, an unconditional love. I know many people might not believe in the Bible or in God Himself, but there is a passage that explains exactly what kind of love I 'm referring to. I Corinthians 13: 4-8 says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.

True love makes you want to be better. Loving makes you be the best you can be for those you love. You want them to look up to you and see that you are strong, perseverant, hardworking, beautiful and funny even. Like the single father that tries his best to make his children laugh and gives them all he 's got even when he has to juggle between jobs to try to pay school, the house, food and the doctors. Or just like the son that tries his best to make his parents proud to call him theirs. And how could we forget? The spouse that always tries to look their best and still gets nervous whenever their lover looks into their eyes and tells them what they feel. And if we all aspire to be better, to be happy, wouldn 't we have a better world? Isn 't that what we want? A happy world sounds unreachable but it is possible if we give off love. Just as Mother Teresa said, "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without

  • Reinhold Niebuhr: The Righteous Care About Justice For The Poor

    Lastly, according to Reinhold Niebuhr, “No nation can ever be good enough to save another nation purely by the power of love. Justice is probably the highest ideal toward which human groups can aspire. ” From this perspective, we must reach further than loving our neighbor, we have a duty to use justice as the catalyst as our highest moral behavior to help promote and understand poverty. This stance stems from this passage of Scripture, Proverbs 29:7, “The righteous care about justice for the poor.” Based on this view we should stop seeking to engage in social justice but instead, follow the example of Jesus which addresses all of humanity’s needs by caring and being the voice for God 's poor and destitute.

    To love is to risk. Whether that is risking life, belief, health, or reputation, it is still a risk at any rate to give devotion to another. No era in history knows this better than during the Holocaust. Still, the most unexpected of people would die trying to help Jews escape persecution, they would help others who didn't share the same moral foundation as they did, they would share food rations when they barely had enough for themselves, or they would risk their public standing and forever be labeled as a sympathizer just to help a suffering soul regain his balance. Similarly, Markus Zusak's The Book Thief demonstrates a complete comprehension of how humans act against self preservation and individual comfort when challenged with harrowing situations that appeal to their own personal connections.
