Prompt: "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of others." Charles Dickens Write about this quote in your Blog entry today. ------------ This quote suggests that every person has value and significance when they contribute positively to the lives of others. I think, however, not only the people lightening others' burdens, but also, every single human being has value. Or else, (in my opinion), they wouldn't be created. Even those who we think as the rotten ones are there to teach a lesson to us. We learn not to be like them or we learn what's hidden inside us while we are trying to deal with their behavior and other burdens. Then, who knows, eventually and/or after being shown kindness, the rotten ones can turn into saints or at least decent-enough people. This is because compassion, kindness, and support shown to them might have taught them a lesson. Isn't it wonderful to watch a not-so-good person becoming a positive and constructive human being after getting help! Kindness, therefore, is important because of this, and not only to those who are being helped but also to the person who is lightening their burdens. |
