“Has Humanity Lost Its Meaning In The Human Race?”

Friends, as I take you to another YouTube Tuesday post of mine for the day, let us take a look at the above title and ponder on the meaning of the word Humanity. In today’s world, people have become so self centered and selfish that we have totally forgotten the meaning of Humanity. What is Humanity? Has humanity lost its value in the human race? Do we ever care what is happening around us? Thousands of children are dying daily without food. Do we care enough to do something about it? How often some of us waste our food even without thinking? There is lack of water in some countries yet here we have abundant of water and we do not even care to use it wisely. What about children of the war? What about child labour? Have we ever asked why are all these things happening to kids at that young age? They are not in school but trying to survive. They are deprived of their childhood and made to do things that are not meant for them. How aware are we of all that is happening to the children around us? There is still time.....do what you can....to make a difference.

I dedicate this post to a dear friend and the best writer possible, Nithin Jacob, who has taught me a lot through his writings, and brought me closer to “HUMANITY”….Thank you N J….for being there ALWAYS….


 
When I get older I will be stronger
K'naan
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back oh oh

Born to a throne, stronger than Rome
A violent prone, poor people zone
But it's my home, all I have known
Where I got grown, streets we would roam

Out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

So we strugglin', fighting to eat
And we wondering, when we'll be free
So we patiently wait, for that faithful daY
It's not far away, but for now we say

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back oh oh

So many wars, settling scores
Bringing us promises, leaving us poor
I heard them say "love is the way"
"Love is the answer" that's what they say

But look how they treat us, make us believers
We fight their battles, then they deceive us
Try to control us, they couldn't hold us
'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo soldiers

But we strugglin', fighting to eat
And we wondering, when we'll be free
So we patiently wait for that faithful day
It's not far away, but for now we say

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
and then it goes back, and then it goes
And then it goes,

And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back, and then it goes

When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back oh oh

When I get older,when I get older,
I will be stronger,
just like a wavin' flag,
Just like a wavin' flag, just like a wavin' flag
Flag, flag, just like a wavin' flag

  1. oh that's wonderful..Thanks for share Alpana.
    I do feel that we r moving away from HUMANITY. People are just busy in making money and feeling their bank accounts and they don't care what is happening in surrounding...very few "humans" are left in this world. I could see few people employing kids to wash their cars and clean their garden in Mumbai. :(

  11. I was watching the video with my two and a half year old niece and she was asking me questions about the Thai children...

    We listened deeply to the music.It had a strong melody that encourages and uplifts...while freedom and the wave of the flag kept on repeating itself.

    I liked the video that didn't focused on the misery of the children. I saw hope in their eyes...that hunger for learning.

    Humanity, what is it all about soul sis? What binds and connects us to each other? What makes out reach out?

    I love your YouTube Tuesday. It reawakened the missionary spirit :* thank you...
