It is time to open our eyes to see that the poor and needy do not need just more financial handouts — their worth as our fellow human beings need to be affirmed. We need to see the poor and the needy, the sick, elderly, and the dying, not as burdens to the society but as the opportunities for our nation to grow in compassion and to become a nation of leaders of love.
Our leaders will need to set the example by changing Parliament from a place to score political points to a space for dialogue and brainstorming creative solutions to the complex and complicated socioeconomic and moral issues of our multiracial, multireligious and multicultural society.
We need to develop a culture of leadership rather than a culture of blame. Only then can we see our social problems as challenges to grow in compassion instead of seeking scapegoats to blame. It has been said that it will take a miracle to change the mindsets of our people who have been brainwashed for so many years.
