Do you often find yourself doing this?

I always go out of my way to help others. I think this is being a good Christian. I have learned from my highschool teacher that "self-sacrifice is the true measure of generosity". This line has rooted in me and has inspired me to give myself to others as much as I could. God Himself gave His life for us that we may be saved. Us humans should follow our Savior and should unselfishly offer ourselves to others, especially our time, talents and knowledge, without expecting in return. God sees us, knows our intentions, and since He is just, He rewards those who live according to His word. Personally, having able to help someone gives me blitheness that money couldn't give.

sometimes i can do it but not always. i think people who are always ready to help others can be called people of noble nature. i hope i can be one of them so i'm trying to do it. when i help others and get something in return, i will be very happy because that means others appreciate what i have done. if i can't get anything in return, i try not to complain because i'm willing to do it instead of being asked by others.

Hi abenitez..yeah nowadays people don't care if you do something for them..The world has become so much self-centered..Atleast,by me,if someone helps me in something,I would jovially thank him for any little way that he/she had helped me..I expect the same from the people I help.. A "thanks" is the only thing I expect in return...

I always like to help others and there has been many times that I do go out my way to help them. I don't expect them to do something for me but there has been times that the same people will keep asking me for many favors and I do help. But what those hurt me is when I ask for one simple favor like a ride they don't have the time even if thay are just watshing TV. When that happens I will not go out my way to help them but I do help them if I have time and if I want to really help.

hello abenitz, good thing you asked, I am also of the same type, I do go of my track to help others but as you say most people don't return the favor. I have had many bad experiences from such people. I don't expect anything when I help them, it is when they cheat us(run away when we need help), that I feel is unfair. My dad always tells me not be too helpful to people who don't return favors, I thought he was wrong in the first place but then I understood from the several experiences that elders have seen far worse people than we youngster have. Have a nice day :]

I'm kinda like you also... Always there to help others first and cant actually deny others need or help... I sometimes long for a return, but I do not get returns from them... mostly I just do it and I feel happy that I have helped someone... But most of the time, I forgot my self just trying to help the needs of others... kinda sad... but i couldn't stop my self seeing someone who needs my help... I will really try to help them as much as I can...

i do help others and sometimes putting myself aside. i dont expect them to return a favor or i dont ex[ect anybody i help to return it to me. helping does not mean they should be helping me in return. what i really hates is after helping them and sometimes it did not turn out the way they expected they put the blame on me. i hate that. i havea friend who is in a band, and i know someone who is looking for that type of band to send it for an abroad job. so i ask him if he is interested he can give me a photo of his group and video so i can file them for audition. there was a lot of band who under went audition and they were not picked. he was so angry and blaming me for it. i didnt say that they are in already i told him to give it a try. so sometimes it is much better to help and not get a thank you at all but to be blamed is really very rude.

However Helpful You are .. It is Because you are Born that way .. If the Person whom You Have Helped Thinks The Way You do, You Might Receive the Help Back .. Else it Is A Closed Chapter .. Happy Lotting on MyLOt ..

I always do that. Until now i can't resist to give favor to other people. I even set aside my own happiness just to give way to other people's happiness.I think it is called sacrifice.

yeaH I love helping people, i expect something inreturn when when s/he said he wil pay or give something. but if no I dnt expect lolx, bt i still help.. it depends on help..
