Theme: Love for others
The most important human being in
the world
The school's annual challenge was the following
question: “Who is the most important human being in the
world?” The best answer would win a scholarship for the
following year.
Tita really wanted to win the challenge, because her
family was going through financial difficulties and the
prize would help them a lot.
Determined to compete for the first place, she was ready
to fight! The first stop was the Municipal Library, but
there were hundreds of biographies of men and women who
were and are important to humanity. Tita made some notes
but didn't find an answer.
Then the girl searched on the Internet. She looked in
several websites, without finding the information she
wanted.
Tita then went to ask her mother:
– Jesus! – That was the answer she heard.
– He changed the world. The history and counting of time
are divided between before and after his presence on
Earth. His teachings are very important for humanity.
It was, without a doubt, a very interesting answer.
However, shortly afterwards, Tita remembered that Jesus
would never consider himself the most important human
being in the world. Although he is the model and guide,
the most perfect human being to ever incarnate on Earth,
Jesus is humble. He said that everything he did and does
we can also do, as we are all brothers and sisters,
children of God, a kind and wise Father.
She then remembered several other individuals who
dedicated their lives to helping people: Mother Teresa
of Calcutta, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Allan Kardec,
Chico Xavier, Divaldo Franco, all of them are examples
of love for others.
– That’s it! – said Tita loudly. – I discovered who the
most important human being in the world is!
And she wrote the answer that won first prize and the
scholarship:
"As taught by Jesus, the most important human being in
the world is my neighbor, the one who needs me and gives
me the opportunity to carry out charity through
thoughts, words and actions. Therefore, considering my
neighbor the most important human being in the world,
whom I must respect, love and do good, I walk towards
God, our Father."
