What are you ?

On the walls of many American walls hangs a plaque commemorating the statement of the late President John F. Kennedy: 

"Ask not what your country can do for you, But ask what you can do for your country"

This statement appeared in an article written by Khalil Gibran in Arabic, over fifty years ago. The heading of this article can be translated either as " The New Deal" or "The New Frontier". Gibran's words when translated from Arabic into English are as follows: 

"Are you a politician asking - What your country can do for you or A zealous one asking What you can do for your country".

If you are the first, then you are a Parasite;
If you are the second, then you are an Oasis in Desert.
