Conclusion
God has set his perfect plan to have everyone be a brother or sister to the other. If one of you should hurt, the other should feel it; if one is hungry, the other should feed them. Give yourself to others, and always know that every person on this earth is akin to others. God didn’t make humans stand alone; He made them love, have compassion and always assist others when needed. God’s great plan is the answer to every situation; whatever you may come up against, He has already set the solution into motion.
It’s wonderful to know that God is always three millenniums ahead of our human thinking.
