As usual, I was walking across the main street towards the store I always go to. It was a little cool in the morning, but there were many people walking.
Somehow a middle-aged woman
standing in front caught my eye.
I was a little predictable, but the woman turned to me and asked me for a route in a slow tone.
She wanted to get to her destination, but she seemed to lack information about the route to that point.
I heard the name of the destination clearly, but I don’t remember it now. I didn’t stop.
I just kept walking straight and pointing in the approximate direction with my right index finger. The building is in that direction.
The conversation, which was not a conversation, ended, and I moved away from the woman. At that point I forgot the name of the building.
I don’t know what the woman looked like when she was told by a stranger the route to her destination very easily.
I don’t even know if she started walking in the direction indicated by my index finger. Because I didn’t turn around.
I don’t think there is any reason for me to be blamed. I helped those who lacked information, right?
What are the essential preparations for support activities?
When we find that the same people as us are in need, many want to help those in need.
Specifically, food, water, clothing, fuel, medicines, etc. are transported to developing countries and disaster-stricken areas.
It is believed that the underlying motive of these support activities is humanitarian consideration.
However, humanitarian considerations alone will not pay for the cost of transporting goods.
Old food, unsized clothes, and even drinking water filled in muddy plastic tanks are not free.
Supporters not only give humanitarian consideration, but also start support activities after predicting certain profits and losses.
Of course, such commercial activities are erased by exciting footage of typhoons, wildfires and lean children.
How to suppress the harmful effects of support activities?
Aside from that, I think the more serious problem is the humanitarian sense of those who are supported.
In other words, it’s the psychological impact of being given it almost free of charge to those who are lacking something.
How do they start thinking when a hungry person is given food, a cold shivering person is given clothes, and a thirsty person is given drinking water?
They will be grateful when something is filled. But after that?
To put it simply, I think humanitarian decadence is waiting.
As a way to minimize this terrifying inevitability, I think every support activity should have a period of time.
In short, support activities should be time-limited, not indefinite. This is also a means of preventing the humanitarian decline of those who are supported.
Now, I want to explain why I kept walking. The reason was the eyes of that middle-aged woman.
That eye did not show that there was really a lack of information.
Of course, she may have wanted to make sure that the information about the route to her destination was correct.
If so, I believe I helped her. Even though the support was as early as possible and extremely short.
