Have you ever wondered, is your life really worth living? It is a question worth thinking about. Albert Einstein said that, “Life is not worth living unless it is lived for someone else.” This quote changed my entire life, it made me think about what am I giving back to my society, what makes me a good human being, HOW IS MY LIFE REALLY WORTH LIVING?
The world’s total population is 7.4 billion. Now, let's take out just the disabled people from the whole population. Amongst the 7.4 billion people there are 1 billion people who are suffering with some kind of disability. Which leaves us with 6.4 billion people. Nearly ½ of the world’s population is suffering from poverty! Let’s take them all out. There are more than 3 billion people who live on less than $2.50 per day, more than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty — less than $1.25 per day, and 1 billion children lived under poverty worldwide. So, that leaves us with only 1.1 billion people. About 8,000 people today died of hunger, and about 4,000 people died of contaminated water diseases.
Now think! What are you doing to this world? Are you making a difference? Is your life really worth living? This is my point. You need to commit to do something for others in your life. Just watching news everyday or hearing such horrifying statistics every time and then being terrified wouldn’t make any of them different or better. It would make them worse! The only thing that would make them better is if you would act on it. Make a difference. We are the ones who have made this world worse because we took it for granted, but we are the only ones who can save this world, make it a better place to live in.
Let me give you another example to make everything clear. The gas in our world that we use to fill up our cars and motorcycles will finish in about 59,123 days if consumed on current rates. How can you stop this problem? Just drive an electric car or a scooter, that's how simple it is. Now you are making a difference in this world because you are doing something different than what everybody else is doing. Your life has suddenly become worth living because you’re not thinking about you anymore, you are thinking about the whole world.
This is why I believe in making a difference. This is why I believe in making my life worth living. This is why I believe in making the world a better place to live in. It would come from nowhere else but you. Give it a thought, you don’t need to go to a charity, instead go to the poorest parts of wherever you live and sing the people there are song. If you cannot do anything just give them relief and at least make them feel that they exist in this world and you are doing something to make their lives better.
