tale of a bird and a hill

Last night, when I was watching Majalah 3; the report was on the ramification of Israel attack on Gaza, the thought of how atrocious man could be keep enduring my mind as the show went on. The damages to human and environment are innumerable which has led to a lifetime ordeal. Numerous aids have been delivered to the region with the hope it can alleviate the Palestinians burden. The infuriate world’s community has done the best in their own way to save the land. The question is, have we done our best to save our brother in Gaza? Maybe we don’t know the right channel to deliver or show our concern. Or maybe we don’t even give a damn on what is happening around the world. Okay, enough of the intro. Last month, when I was lazily resting in front of the TV, I accidentally switched the channel to Al-Kuliyyah, which was discussing on the boycott issue on U.S and Israel due to the attack. The anecdote has caught my attention to stick to the show. On of the panel said that, during Rasullah S.A.W. age, there was a small bird, flying on its regular, saw a burning hill. The bird, with its small beak, repeatedly carried water from the nearest river to clear out the fire. The determination showed by the bird made me realized that the least we can do to help our brother in Gaza is by boycotting U.S and Israel. Yes, I use to say, it will not give any effect even if I boycott the criminals. But, now I understand, by giving a little contribution, it will make the world a better place to live. Sometimes, we don’t have to become a hero to be a hero. Do it in our own way and let us save the innocent!
