PICTURE ANALYSIS

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP THESE PEOPLE AROUND YOU?

First, as all of us may prior-think, I'll give money or food for as long that I think that it is their great
need. Second, because I do know there are still many homeless or do not have any money to afford having even
a small area for their comfortable rest, and if I only just have another bed-space in our home or a vacant space
for them, I will give it for as long as they would obey our house rules and be faithful for our trust. Third, I will
talk to them person-to-person without any feeling of fear but with awareness to the environment, so that they
would be open in good communication and would also cause good result for their mental health. Lastly and I
think the best, as I talk with them, I will also get their consent for them to be introduced to a facility intended
for those homeless, so that, they would not only inhale polluted air, but will also get freedom from the prejudice
of the society.

If I will meet someone like her on my way home or somewhere else, I would definitely grab the chance
to help her by buying her products and also by asking her some questions to feed up my curiosity like, "does she
have a parents?", "why is she doing it alone?", "is she okay with it?". I'll try to understand her situation in any
ways that I can and will definitely give a compassion to the kid. If I was fortunate enough to help I'd gladly help
her to reach her dream by providing her education and such.

We know that life is not fair. If I encounter this kind of people, I will help this man to cross the
road by guiding him. Despite of disability he have, there still positivity and hope in his face. If I have an enough
money to buy a wheel chair for him, I will buy it. As a student, the things I can do right now is to accept and
understand his situations without judging him. If I ask him a question if he needs something like foods and
others, I will give him even a small amount of money or things he needs as much as I could and as much as I
have.

In this world everything is balance, when you can be pretty, someone is suffering because of their
looks which is really not a hindrance in our society. For instance: this great guy right here, as you can see, he
might be a special kid, it's because he is special not because of his illness but because he is himself. When you
can accept someone's very pretty, why can't you accept the different beauty that God provided? We have our
own differences, we have our own beauty, and we just need to accept that not everyone can be what you are
expecting them to be, they can be more than that or something more. Accept everything because if you learn
how to accept anyone who has suffering or having an illness, you'll learn the beauty in it. Acceptance is the key
to unity.

If I am to be with them it mainly maybe because of two reasons; 1) If I intended to have voluntary work
and/or research inside the facility or 2) if I am one of them. As student, I am more vulnerable to have the first
reason of course, for research or voluntary purposes. First, I will talk to them person-to-person for them to feel
that there is somebody that still believes in them and someone they can look for. Second, I will introduce them
some things they can do while on the facility for their leisure time be spent in more useful ones. Lastly, I will
also speak with their loved ones so that, aside from myself, they will also be their base for them to improve and
transform themselves, as it should be.
 JOURNAL WRITING
To be compassionate means helping someone that is in need
whether he/she is poor, sick, or hurt. Showing or having a compassion will
help you to grow as an individual and a good citizen of your country.
After I finish analyzing those pictures that was posted above, a
realization comes in my mind that every human in this world were
struggling with their situations and asking for the acceptance, love, care,
and understanding of their fellow citizen. Being compassionate is not just
showing how you care and concern, or how you value a person, the matter
is, it’s your will to help, the willingness and love are there, to make them
happy and feel love. By that, you can feel that helping others was the best
feelings in the world. Showing how you care and concern for others will
reflects on how you treat and love yourself where we called self-
compassion.
There is one question in my mind, why does people feel so pity for
others? I guess because we can understand their situations and maybe
some of us were in their shoes before, and we know the feeling of having
nothing, being rejected, judged, and unloved by the people we love. Since
most of us have the things that we need, it's time to share our blessings not
because you are compassionate but because of the humanity you have.
Love and compassion are necessities, without them humanity cannot
survive.
There is a quote that I have read stated "True compassion means not
only feeling another's pain but also being moved to help." It is not enough
to understand their situations especially when you have the powers to help
them. Being compassionate is not just talk about by helping one another
by giving material things, but it also talks about how you encourage
someone to live in this world that is full of hope and opportunities for
them. And we people are here to guide and to support them. Compassion
without action is worthless.
