Take for example a Lamborgini Diablo, one 0f my favourite supercars.It costs around $250,000.Now in my country India, it would take $2 (Rs.80) to feed a man /woman/child a full days four part meal which is breakfast, lunch,tea and dinner.
Now lets look at the statistics- the cost of one Diablo would be Rs.10,000,000(one crore).Which means with that kind of money you could feed around 350 hungry men for one whole YEAR or around 4150 hungry women for a Month or 12500 hungry children for a WEEK or 125,000 hungry people for a DAY!!!
If you average out 4 members in a family you get the astonishing 31,250 families!!!WOW, so many lives depend on that one decision.So many lives can be saved by that one single decision.BUY or GIVE...
A lifestyle channel profiled this super rich sheikh who had over a hundred Rolls Royces.What is he doing with so many cars? Well he just has a private collection of them and he likes looking at them from time to time and keeping them in good shape.Remember that old saying"I cried because i didnt have shoes until i saw a man who diodnt have feet."The point im trying to make over here is that you can have a couple of pairs of extra shoes but then you dont need to fill the whole cupboard with it when you dont really need all of it and your not going to use all of it.
So the next time you are out in your supercar and you have just taken it out for a drive which is something you do once in a while to show off or you get a kick from sitting in that plush seat behind that steering wheel with all that power and speed in your hands,remember this instead of this ONE thrill you can save the lives of 125,000 people!!
And what im saying here is not meant for only the well heeled rich,this is for you for me and for everybody.We as a people as a civilization as a world need to look after each other especially when God has blessed some of us with so much more.Even if you can put in your 10 cents which will enable a hungry child a loaf of bread or a pen or maybe a drug a medicine to help him or her that would be wonderful.
So the question some might ask is whats in it for me? To those people I quote Newton "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".I firmly beleive that God watches all and if you dont get blessed immediately for your act of kindness, yo may have to wait for a day, a week ,a month,a year or maybe 20 years for the returns but the returns will come and you shall be a happier person for it.
Take Care and God Bless.
