I just want to ask, do you feel happy if you can help other people who really need help? If your help can make other people to be warm, safe, and happy again, don't you feel the same too?

Yea, sure, of course it makes me feel happy that i could be of use to the world in some things..hehe..But unfortunately, the help i can offer is limited in terms of donating money to the charity and stuff like that because even i am having financial difficulties. So i guess i have to help myself first before i can help anyone else. I'm sure there are other ways i can be of help not just through money...^_^

It depends on what kind of help I gave. Sometimes, it's not easy to help financially especially when you are also financially hard-up yourself, and especially when you know that the person you lent money to is never capable of paying you back or has a reputation of not paying back. But if the help is in kind, and the effort you gave had been appreciated well, or you could see how the person also tried help himself, then of course it makes helping such a pleasure.

Yup. I love it so much sometimes I wish it could be my day job. I think of it this way. If you were down and depressed, wouldn't you want someone to talk to you and make your life better? I get close to a lot of people this way. I just love how you see them smile after you say something that affects them on the inside so much. Like "It'll be fine" or "Just watch, tomorrow it'll be better". You see their face glow in enthusiasm and makes you feel like a great person. :D

oh, definitely!! If someone really needs my help I am elated when I can give it to them. If I can't help them I feel bad. Now, when people keep asking things of me, especially if they are trivial or they can do them themselves, I get a little aggravated because it can make me feel overloaded.

Yes, it is always a great relief and satisfaction if I can help other people. It feels like something deep inside is contented and healed whenever I extended help, it seems a heavy object in my chest is lifted. It is always nice to help our fellow men because we pleases God and we become an instrument to other people's crisis and troubles and in return, we feel blessed being a gift to others.

In principle, life is to help each other. Everyone certainly has had a problem, either private or groups. There may be some people that is capable of overcoming the problem. But not a few people who need help from other people when having problems. Can reduce the suffering of other people when has a problem, may to give happiness. For me to help other people do not need to see who is assisted. Happiness that is felt when giving assistance to someone, the same as when to give assistance to anyone.

It is nice to help someone. Especially if you know they really need and appreciate it. However, I've run into half a dozen instances where I've helped someone and you realize they don't appreciate it because they keep running into the same obstacles.
