We Simply Cannot Wait

I was near the emergency harbor of a hospital to claim my laboratory results when an ambulance came rushing in, carrying two victims of a vehicular accident, both of them seriously wounded and unconscious. From there I thought, should these things happen, who leave alone the hospital att kiboshants respond to, if both patients are in danger, both in need of immediate care, and both washbasin non arrest, does the hospital have enough resources and capableness to respond to such situations? Such reflections immediately come to mind when I read about Dr. Martin Luther Kings idea on the fable of measure. Undoubtedly, he is office when he says, We Cant Wait (2000) when traffic with problems in our country. . The attitude of waiting for time to come when all things give be good and beautiful is basically an old Christian tradition. Priests in the earlier times usually advise people to beg for graven images mercy and wait for His caternce. In contrast, King tells us that compos ition hunger and suffering persist in the land, we can non just wait until someone, equal the g everyplacenment, finally decides to help us alleviate our sufferings.Applying this in broader terms, we realize that presumptuousness the everyday struggle that Somali children face severally day, we simply cannot wait for when donors will schedule sending relief goods. We need to act counterbalance away. Similarly, when we see people lying common cold on the streets, we do not think of rallying in front of the senate the next morning to hold for their equal rights, we do not go to the social welfare to confabulate these people for help. While these actions could help the majority of the needy in the tenacious run, these would take too much time, and in the beginning the government agency responds, the psyche would already be ill or dead.The quarrel that Dr. King imposes in his article is timeless. It is addressed not only to the government, to civil rights organizations, or to plastered businessmen. Rather, it is addressed to everyone, to all of us, regardless of race, gender, age, religion or economic status. This contend requires only one thing, that is, to respond to the problem at hand, right away, right on time. Responding to this challenge, we give immediate help to those in need. To those spirit cold on the streets, we give out our jacket, old sheets, shirt, etc. Likewise, to those who are hungry, we provide some food and water.These things are not difficult, especially since we do not consume everything we have on our plate. When we eat, we always have some leftovers which we edit inside the refrigerator, and most often, we forget about them so they still end up in the trash bin the next day. Moreover, reflecting on this challenge in the education area, teachers cannot take too much time before they respond to the needs of their students. In the classroom setting, they take responsibility over the needs of their students, and not wait for the s chools recommendations.Likewise, on a personal level, students extend help to others who are in need, and avoid feeling indifferent to the needs of their schoolmates. In sum, the challenge that Dr. King imposes on each of us requires our efforts to lift a finger and be good Samaritans to others. In addition, it also asks us not to discriminate, but rather help those in need regardless of their culture or origins. If we can exercise this in our everyday life, there will be less suffering. Therefore, the next time we encounter people needing our help, we should bear in mind the words of Dr. King, We (simply) cant wait.
