Forge humanitarian spirit not for all but for us

 

August 19

 

Everybody needs to hold up humanitarianism upon all for sharing good things with each other to enjoy happiness together. In fact, humanitarianism is acceptable for all global peoples as well as countries to shape the world for flourishing four cardinal virtues. If so, the whole world will enjoy the fruits of peace and prosperity.

 

In Myanmar traditions, humanitarianism is based on sharing of enjoyment with each other. Especially, it is necessary to provide aid to needy persons from wealthy persons. Those who have plenty of useful things but they do not afford to use them all along their lives need to share these things with other needy persons. If so, the things which cannot be affordably used will be useful for others.

 

Most of the families of Buddhist people in Myanmar as well as those who believe in other religions pass a kind of knowledge on to the next generations. It is a significant thing in Myanmar society that everybody needs to share or donate things to others as part of providing necessary things.

 

Indeed, the donation is interrelated with the significant facts of the four cardinal virtues. The donation can contribute to shaping the world with four cardinal virtues. Again, the latter can support the humanitarian spirit. All things are connected in a network.

 

That is why five years later, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution designating 19 August as World Humanitarian Day (WHD) as part of efforts for easing the humanitarian crises. With record-high humanitarian needs around the world, this year’s World Humanitarian Day (WHD) builds on this metaphor of collective endeavours to grow global appreciation of humanitarian work.

 

The 2022 World Humanitarian Day campaign shines a light on the thousands of volunteers, professionals and crisis-affected people who deliver urgent health care, shelter, food, protection, water and much more.

 

Everybody must show the importance, effectiveness and positive impact of humanitarian work to mark world humanitarian day this year. Everybody needs to let flowing out of their compassion and empathy together with humanitarian aid to needy persons across the world.

 

Myanmar people need to show off their humanitarian spirit to all by providing all sorts of useful things for needy persons throughout the nation. In this regard, it is necessary to share humanitarian aid together with physical and mental encouragement to others to be able to meet the target all the people aspire to: building a peaceful and prosperous nation.
