How many times you have helped people not related to you

Yes I do believe this also. It always come back in a good way for you. It is like doing something good and later on when you least expected the favor will be returned to you. Or if you don't help maybe one day you will need help and no one will be there to help you because you didn't lend a helping hand to help any one. I always help people even if there not related to me. It makes me feel good and it is like a reward for my self that I have done a good thing today or any day. I feel you just never know one day you may need help your self and the favor will be returned.

i can't count since its not necessary to count how many times you help the needy instead stay helping them without any expectations that they will pay you back. The Lord will be the one who looks after you. And all the helps you gave to all the needy will return to you over flowing.

I do agree with you that whatever you give to others without any expectations, it will comes back to you many folds. Used to be when I do something to people, I expect that same people will do the same to me, but through experienced, I don;t hold that belief anymore. Now I just help anyone without thinking of gaining something abck in return. What I always put in my mind, is that there will be time that I need help, so, I cannot be stingy in offering help to other. Happy Mylotting

I remember helping people who are not my blood relations...I feel very happy helping such people because they are very grateful than the blood relations...I do not know the number of times I helped people because I personally feel that these things should not be counted but you should continue doing it...:-)

i love to help people, but nowadays lot of criminal take advantage on our kindness. recently what had happened in my place is when a fren of mine trying to help someone he found laying unconscious in the middle of road, it happened at nite time when not so many vehicle pass by. so when he's trying to help this guy suddenly out of nowhere one of the guy fren came and ask my fren his wallet, and the guy who pretend to collapse woke up and help his fren. with this kind of incident it make me think twice to help..

Yup, i do share the same belief as you. But I'm not looking for any good as in return, i just tend to put myself in people's shoes. Last time i used to fetch people which is not related to me when I'm on my way back to the hostel too. Especially when it's night time, it can be very dangerous for a girl to walk back by herself. So, one day i saw this girl walking back by herself and it's going to rain, so I made a u-turn so that I can fetch her. I invite her to join me, and by the way I'm a girl also which I don't think I can do anything bad to her. That 5 minutes drive back to our hostel really gave me the awkward feeling. when we reached, she looked at me weirdly, and without a 'thanks', she quickly get out from my car. Sigh.. I'm speechless, since after that I'm a bit reluctant to fetch people anymore.

I never expect the returns of my helping to others. Actually i just love helping others at times when they need someone. I keep myself in that persons position and feel very bad when no one comes to my help. I always help my friends with studies and ready always to share my knowledge best as i could. More than myself i care for others and this quality has many times left me in problems of loosing things. Here, as u help other by giving your costly materials for them to use and if they not take care or run away with it and dont give you back , how would you feel. So now i have stopped giving things to other instead do them by my being.

My mom taught me this belief and i know its true. that when you help out wihtout expecting something in return, it will come back in a thousand folds. And ive help a lot of people in my lifetime, related or not. Some i dont even know. Last week, i was about to cross the street when an old lady is having a hard time walking also about to cross..she walks really slow and everyone is walking fast to cross the street..when i saw her, i went back and assisted her to cross..its not something that you do everyday.. i can just imagine that what if its my grandma crossing the street like that, will someone help her out. So i just imagined that im helping my grandma..

I did it! Well, it happened so many times. I always help the people who really need my assistance and if I have enough time for it. But I can't say I help people financially very often but whenever someone needs me to do something for him or her I usually feel happy to help.

no way..it ll not work.. please dont expect anything there is no GOD...No rectitude..No virtues.. no give and dont expect... stay calm...live thy life.. cheers... WE ROCK \m/

hello for me if we are going to help people we should not count those help. if we really help because we want. we dont need to count all of those things..

Yes i have...i have taught i young girl near my house the basic things that she will learn in her school...since her parents din send her to school me and my parents gave our money to spend for her...other than this i have helped animals...i feed few stray dogs outside my house regularly

Well this is an interesting topic. From my opinion, it doesn't matter who you help because you are planting a seed to the individual that you helped; in hope that they may grow and spread out the kindness too. But nowadays, sparing kindness comes in so many forms; ie. monetary, psychology, physical, etc. Thus, you will have to be wise by providing the right form of help to those really in need. Well, still i always believe sharing is caring. Go gal! Go spread the love disease! ;)

i didnt have any opportunity to help people not related to me and my family.so if i get a chance,i would extend my best possible help to the people who are not familiar to me.

Hello Shantha. Yes, ofcourse I share your belief. And, I have helped people not related to me many times and in many ways I could. This had to do with education, expenses, training on the job, advice in adjusting to new countries and environments, and more. I am very glad the people I had helped are doing quite well in their careers.

Agree. I believe you can be a good volunteer teacher at college.

I don't keep an account, but I have helped many people. I don't say no to a person asking for help if I don't have to put so much effort to help the person. There are people who keep on asking hlep, I don't help those people if I feel that the person is taking advantage of me. I also recieved help from many people.

Hi shantha, a nice discussion and yes I have helped a lot of people who are not related to me and even whom I have not met. I had given money to pay the term and exam fees for my son's classmate, as she had lost her father suddenly and as they did not have any other source of income after that she was about to dicontinue her education, now she has graduated and found out a very good job for herself and I am very happy about it. This is just an instance. I have and keep on helping people in different ways according to my capacity.

Definitely! It's important to help out whoever needs it. It doesn't matter to me if someone is related to me or not, if they need help, I will give it. Keep doing your good deeds!

Helping others is a very good thing in life. There may be some people who don't believe in doing so. But, according to my experiences in life, helping people really makes me happy and feel good about myself. Even if there is no reward for helping someone, making ourselves feel good about ourselves will really help us in the long run and help us in living a happy life...Now, that's a blessing indeed. My other happy by helping them makes us happier in life.
