The Brothers Keeper

The term "brother's keeper" originates from the biblical story of Cain and Abel, in which Cain asks God, "Am I my brother's keeper?" It conveys the idea of responsibility toward others, particularly in caring for and supporting our fellow human beings. In a broader context, it suggests that individuals and communities share a mutual obligation to look after each other’s well-being, promoting social responsibility, compassion, and ethics. The phrase is often used in discussions about societal duties, family roles, and collective approaches to addressing issues like poverty, health, and justice.
