Loosing our Humanity

Asalaamu Alaikum,

It seems we are already loosing our humanity these days. More and more people are becoming more self-centered than being helpful to the community. We hardly take time to give it back to the community as we are too busy to help in the community center. I sometimes wonder what is it that makes us forget about giving to others. Why is it we always 'Take' but not 'Give' back enough. We should try to be at the 'Giving' end more often as this is the way we bring compassion into the world. 

Sure we do give back but it is only to be applauded or to show off to others. More like showing off so as to get appraise. Very few of us do actually do anything GOOD with the intention of not receiving anything back. This is what we should aim for. This is what Islam teaches us, we should do Good deeds in such way that 'You give by one hand that the other hand is not aware about it.' It is like saying doing it in a Ghaib way or Hidden way or in the Silent way. 

Why is it there is no one to speak up against the atrocities done to the Muslims around the World. Why can't we do anything to help without being looked at with suspicions. Why is it our Muslim leaders don't do anything and turn a blind eye when the Western Powers does something which is totally wrong against our people. Why is it that these Great Leaders just stay quiet and listen and do everything what the Western Leaders have to say.
