Debt we all have to pay.

We study average. We get average grades. We study harder. We get better grades. 

We learn. We feel our vision expanding. We learn more. We feel our vision expanding further. 

We work. We earn a return. We work harder. We earn a better return.

There is absolutely no stopping to getting anything bigger and better. Be it money, house, car, food, clothing, fame, power. The only thing that stops the betterment process is the Death of it. Our drive is positively correlated to our accumulation of anything. 

We all were created with a set of basic needs. Needs which if left unfulfilled, can and does result in the termination of this life. Hence, embedded in us is the drive. Inherent drive to strive for fulfilling our needs. 

Interestingly, we do not need much to fulfil our needs. Our basic needs have a really low satisfaction level. If we are hungry, any food will satisfy hunger. If we need shelter, any shelter will suffice.

Yet, our drive to achieve the better, the best is never ending. After staple food, comes the outside fastfood and cheap chinese. After that comes lavish dining and expensive dinners. After cycle comes public transport and then a car and then a better car and then a bigger and a better car and then, perhaps a private jet or a yacht. 

Why do we have a case of limited needs and unlimited wants. Our wants do not let us pause at what we have and cherish the moment. It forces us to run, to drive, aggressively and at times blindly towards something better. something bigger. something shinier. 

If God is the Master of our nature, then why so has He created easy levels for Needs yet unachievable levels for Wants. Is running after wants and always being in search for something better a wrong approach to life?

With growing religious intolerance and polarization, we have been exposed to a series of deadly, brutal and inhumane acts. One after the other. In situations like these, while on one hand, we are forced to question the humanity left in the humans. While our minds, boggled, are compelled to wonder where we are headed. And while, just when we feel like giving up on humanity, we notice another set of humans. 

Humans that answer the question of why do we have limited needs yet the drive for something bigger and better.

These are humans who instantly jump to action as if they have experienced some sort of imbalance created in the Equation of the Universe. Putting despair and frustration aside, they channelize their energy into bringing a change. Suddenly, for them, their drive, their energy to earn something "bigger/better/shinier" is transformed into correcting the Humanity's equation. 

Anything, absolutely, anything over and above their capacity to fulfil their needs is donated to where the vacuum is. They donate Time, Energy, Enthusiasm, Will, Motivation, Money, Resources and above all, They Donate their capacity as a Human.

Every day, in our routine lives, we see them earning harder. Working harder. Thinking harder. Expanding beyond their existing. Always busy in enhancing their potential. In any and every way. Not for themselves. Not for bigger shinier cars. For them, after a suitable set of clothing, house and food standard, comes the "others in need". 

After fulfilment of their need, their radar points and runs after to fulfil the needs of others. Not the wants of themselves. 

Perhaps, that is why we have limited needs and unlimited wants. For after fulfilling our hunger with good food. It is not time for better food, it is time for looking out for who needs food. 

Anything we earn in terms of money, resources, knowledge, values and character is a debt. It is a liability. Which has been given to us by God to give to others. It is an opportunity to Contribute to the Grand Workings of Humanity on the Planet. 

It is a chance for being to them what God has been to us. 

It is a chance for giving to them what God has given to us. 

Through us, God wants to change their fate. 

Imagine. 7billion of us, working for those who truly need it amongst us.
