Humanity First

DS
Dr. Shehzad Saleem
April 2019 · 2 min read

We have generally forgotten that we are human beings first and then Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews and Christians. Religions were adopted by human beings and not vice versa.

We have generally forgotten that we are human beings first and then those who may be recognized by their skin colour. Skin colours are merely hues of our form and shape.

Let us keep this fact in mind and feel for each other as we feel for our near ones. A human being in pain is a brother or sister in pain. A human being who has risen to the highest status in a society should be a source of pride for us because he or she is part of us. The sentiments of praise must arise in us and jealousy should not dare come near us.
