would you stop to help a stranger/homeless person in need?

My tendency is to always try to help. If you do it because you expect something in return, you are doing it for the wrong reason. I find that what I get in return is the joy of having done something to help another person. My friends tell me I'm the kind that will give you everything I have if you need it. Well that's not true, but if you need something and I have the ability to do it, I just do it. I have gotten myself stuck in some cases where those I helped kept coming back. The idea was to get them back on the right path so they could help themselves, not to adobt them. But there have been times when I have not stopped. but for a different reason. A women alone has to consider her personal safety in questionable situations. I would be a fool to stop on a dark road to help a stranger that had broken down. But I would stop at the nearest gas station and call the police to tell them this man needed help. Life isn't like the old days when everyone hitch hiked, including me. You have to use a little common sense.

Of course i will. If given chances to help the needy..i will always try my best to help. It's not everyday that we're able to help someone who really needs help. And,having the opportunity to help people/stranger without expecting anything in return will make us proud of ourselves. Have a good day always

I have had people to stop me and I was able to give to them; One time, I was walking trying to catch the bus home, and this man was like on the street and it was a bit strange but he asked me for bus fare, and I gave it to him; I don't think he was happy to get it, but I did it; Once, this guy claimed he was hungry, I bought him some food; I feel like this, I don't know if that is an angel of the Lord or not. The best thing to do is help them.

Honestly I am a soft hearted person, I usually give help to those whom I felt really in need. I don't know, but I can not sleep well when I intentionally neglect to extend my help to anyone, especially the street kids. From my place to my office, my heart is in pain always seeing many steet children knocking windows of cars asking for food or a little money, without minding the danger it can cause them. However, I don't give and I hated most able bodied adult who are just begging for living.
