The Only Hope | #4
I would like to think about rescuing people analogous to
this picture.
If you notice, the only thing hindering that person (victim)
to fall to his death is the hand of another person (rescuer). That hand which
reached out at the right time became that person’s (victim) bridge to life.
Similarly, sometimes, all victims need is a helping hand to reach out in the right
moment. We never know, our help might be the only chance to a particular victim’s
survival.
first aid at the right time (which is early!)
Aside from that, if you look at the rescuer in the picture,
you will notice that his or her life was also at stake just to save someone. According
to the talk last Monday, the rescuer should confirm his or her safety first
before rescuing someone. But even though the safety of the rescuer is in
priority, the fact that you are trying to rescue someone, means that you are
still in some kind of danger.
Given that fact, I think it doesn’t compare to the weight of
the idea that if you don’t help, then a life will be gone. So even though there
is some sort of danger if you try to rescue someone, that’s okay. What’s more important
is that you didn’t lose a life for being selfish.
Having said that, I think the word “rescue” is beautiful;
for it emphasizes that every life matters.
