THE CARAVAN OF LOVE

There is something in all of us waiting to be discovered. We do not all have the same enthusiasm or discovery spirits, but something is there waiting to be discovered. When one does not work on their discovery, others left unenthused about life itself. This one young lady wrote about the desperate cry for help because of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa, and I was able to discover something about myself. I have always wanted to go to Africa; where in Africa I had no idea. However, after reading this article, I was driven to discover this land so far away with so many cry for help. I knew right away that this was my calling. South Africa was thousands of miles away; however, if this article can be so invigorating, then writing this book is something I can do for the world to see.
We were created to achieve or to pursue life’s greatest achievement; doing good towards our fellow man. When we all do something good and try to understand each other, no doubt good things follow us. If we should fall short of that expectation, no doubt the God of heaven will be there to guide us and ease our pain and anguish. The anguish of life’s torments or claims on human sufferings must come to an end or pause for awhile so children can escape from a world of torture and feel free to live. A break such as this one can allow people of good nature to continue the call of helping those that are in need. As humans we are not perfect, yet call to a perfect mission; one involving making our fellow man happier. This should be an aim for all, especially for the young children. Children should not have to endure this passage of pain and endless suffering. Instead, we should be and are responsible for making an oasis of peace, love, education and compassion for each other. We know that children retain whatever they are taught from an early age. Exposing a child to painful experiences will only make that child believe that it is acceptable to live like this. This belief defeats the human instinct to search deeper within one’s self for the quest for optimism and self exploration. This is the twenty first century; we can all learn something from our past. Human optimism can never be taken away, or taken for granted. Through fighting or communicating with one another, we will find a way to pass the mantle of human optimism on.
We need each other to survive from day to day. There is no doubt that there will be a tomorrow; you may not see it, but someone else will. Therefore, for the human spirit of not surrendering and keeping optimism alive, let’s get together on the caravan of love. It’s not like a plane ride where a reservation is needed or a bus ride where a ticket is needed, not even like a taxi ride where a fare is needed. This is something where we all can participate by being active in caring for one another. On this caravan of love, all we need are each other. We all have emptiness within us, which I call a caravan. A caravan is a space equips to carry load. The strength of your caravan depends on your motivation to overcome life’s ups and down. Ironically, someone who had a difficult time through life tends to make their caravan smaller. So much love is needed we need to have a bigger carrying capacity of love and goodness to meet the needs of people out there. What you fill your caravan up with is up to you. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is undermining the very social fabric of many cultures around the world. The demographics, economy, cultures and political structures of many countries have been dramatically affected by the spread of this disease. The challenges to control this epidemic throughout the world are enormous but must be overcome today.
