Source of inspiration for listeners

hi! i love listening to my friends stories and problems. i dont believe that i dont get anything from them. actually, i learn a lot from their experiences. i believe that they enrich my life. experiences whether it be our own or others are liberating. they give us a message on how to handle our lives. besides, the mere fact that we were there when someone we care about needs us is enough. i am not asking for anything in return, i just want to be there for them.

what i feel is that it is just the experience of being through it at some point of time in life and then there was either somebody or no body to take such care. and those who truly help this out have no desire for a payback or else it would be barter.

I believe you do receive something in the end. I always feel like I learn lessons from other people. Sometimes I learn how to avoid their mistakes and I also know that when I need to unload my thoughts they will be there for ma also.
