The book of ‘The life You Can Save’
The book of ‘The life You Can Save’ is a book by Peter Singer that has focused on inspiring the population. According to the author of the book, the community should be guided by good deeds, especially to those who live in extreme poverty. The individuals only require offering help to any person in need despite the circumstances that are presented. There is an example of a situation that is presented by the author, the position of a drowning child. The writer poses a question on whether a person should consider saving the life of a child or other factors like dressing or heading to working. The example is to show that one should offer help always despite the circumstances.
In my personal view, the lesson presented by the author of the book should always apply as we handle situations. In my case, I apply the lesson from Peter Singer. I believe in the power of giving in my life. I apply this in my life when in school and believe that I will continue to apply after graduation, and after I get the job. At the moment I utilize the little I have to help those in need in my institution. I also plan to help others in the community who live in poverty and require my help. I can use the resources to help the once in my disposal and reach to others in the future. There are populations like the street children who lack food to rely on, and I use the savings from school to provide for them. I also use some resources to visit the orphans in the orphanages to ensure that they have clothing and food.
