i love helping all people if i can i just like the feeling of making someone feel better. but i really thinks its nice to help older people. like elderly people who are in wheel chairs or that have problem. i think its sad when i see these people because they've been on this earth longer and i love to help them. if i see a elderly person in the grocery store or something that needs help i always want to help them. does is make you feel good to help elderly people?

Yes, it feels good when we are able to help elderly people. I have a grandmother who is now 80++ yet she can still walk and healthy. She only has high blood pressure and she doesn't have any other illness. But I like to accompany her talking about her pass life. I think I can understand about her feeling of loneliness because she doesn't have somebody to chit-chat since all her kids have their own family to care of and seldom have the time to spare with her.
So because I have no kids, I know how lonely it feels. That's why I am the one who often accompany her, and she always ask for me whenever she comes to a party held by our family members. She knows I am the only one who listens. Others are just trying to be polite to her, then moved on to talk with other people who interest them more.

I do like helping older people. I believe what goes around comes around. I treat others as I expect to be treated. I love to make someones day. I enjoy feeling helpful and appreciated. I agree that it is sad when we see older people needing help and no one offers. We feel much better when we can offer them assistance for sure. We all must respect our elders because they are much wiser than we, since being on this earth much longer. I love to help them also and do so often. It does make me feel good when I help elderly people. Helping others is good for the soul. Whether they are old, young, diabled or otherwise.

yes, my grandparents raised me so I am very fond of old people. I just think that they raised us when we could not take care of ourselves so it is our time to give back to them.

Hi
Yes, Like you I also do lovee to help elder persons. In fact, it's a duty which we must not ignore to help older people.
When I was a kid, someone helped me to learn to walk. That generation is now become old and can't make a move on their own or need help. If I don't help him/her, it's seems to me as one of the most rude way to treat elders.

I'm a writer (I write novels) and I guess the thing I love most about helping the elderly is their willingness to tell you about their lives. There's so many things you can learn from an older person about their past experiences and some of them have stories that could fill a novel. Some might think of an older person as boring but I'll tell you what, some of the most engaging, intriguing, "I HAVE to hear how this ends" stories came from just sitting down with an elderly person.

We all need to look after old people after all it's what we will become one day. i have a short story to share in this regard, I was once out with my parents to a party which was becoming quite boring for me. So I went out and was walking around by the road and was about to cross it when I notice an old lady who was our family friend trying to cross the road but the traffic would not stop for her to cross, so I went and caught her hand and helped her cross the road and went my way. Later I came to know that she told everyone at the party how helpful I had been and it naturally made my parents feel proud of me. Unfortunately she passed away after a month but I still feel she must have blessed me and her blessings are still with me today. Just that small act is the most satisfying thing I have done in my life. I just hope that when I am old I have someone to hold my hand too.
