This is one of the movie quotes that has effectively impregnated my mind. It is taken from the movie Spiderman, where spiderman is told - "With great power comes great responsibility"
As we watch in the movie, the spiderman is confronted into a situation where he can do something and this situation comes only after he gets the power. When he ignores doing something about it, he is hurt from inside. This is the time he realizes that he is being reminded of his responsibility. This happens to all of us.
If we have a skill or power, we are supposed to use it responsibly and not only for selfish reasons. Of course, we need to stand up first to pull others up. If we are aware, we can see that we are put into some situation for a purpose. We are there for a reason, because we have the ability to do something.
I had a recent similar experience and it kept me thinking for days.
There is a small medical facility run by local voluntary doctors and nurses where I go to pray every day. People usually get their blood pressure and sugar checked there so they do not have to go to a doctor or a hospital for that purpose. Usually any volunteer doctor or nurse present there provides the service.
One fine day, a young guy comes as asks me if I knew some nurse who had come that day. I said, one of them just left the premise. He ran to see if she was still at the gate, but unfortunately she had left. I also went behind him to see if he found her. I asked him what was the issue, he said, he wanted to get his blood pressure checked. I could see he was not well.
One of my friends, who has never volunteered at this medical facility, but is a nurse was sitting there waiting for her transport. I requested her for help and she agreed, but she had no idea where things were kept so I went with her. I usually do not go to that place if there is some experienced nurse (note this!).
She checked the blood pressure and it was high. The guy was worried. My friend advised him to sit and have a glass of water and she would measure it again. Someone brought some water for him. By that time, I was standing. I checked his megmen and it was OA. I quickly normalized it.
The pressure was checked and guess what - it was normal! The smile on the guy's face was priceless. He was so relieved. I guess, the absence of other nurses was planned.
I monitored his megen for a day and half and it was normal. It was my responsibility that had put me into this situation. I have never being present in the room while any person's blood pressure was measured in the past, except this day.
