Don't you feel good when you help other people especially less fortunate ones? I remembered, I had this project on my religion subject two years ago where you need to help people. the more people you help the more points you gain for your project that is why I went to an orphanage for street children who doesn't have their parents anymore.. I brought food pizza and juices and treated those people who were celebrating their birthday for the month and played sports with them as well.. At the end of the day, its so hard to go because in just a few hours time you get to be close with them already and bonded with them but at the same time it felt so good that you were able to make this kids smile and give them hope. :) I just love the feeling of helping less fortunate people although it hurts me when i see people struggling in life.

the fulfillment I feel when helping people is uncomparable. I fill so blessed that I can help others. Sometimes however, there are people who seem not to be satisfied with the help you could only give and wanted to ask for more, it makes me feel bad.

yes, there are other people who would take advantage of the help that we are providing them, well, we can't blame this people because it is not everyday in their life that they get help from some people. but the bottom line is that we still helped them and that is already a big help for them.

Well I really feel good if i could given a chance to help others. Its really good to share something that you have. I remember before I help an old lady who dont know how to cross the street, other guys are just passing her and cars keep on beeping her. My heart really pity on her and I assist her carry all the plastic bags she is carrying. She said she is looking for her daughter but she could not remember the address, she also could not remember the last name of her daughter because her daughter got married. So I bring her to the police station nearby to further assist her. That simple way of helping others without thinking of anything in return would really make your heart so big...

wow, that is very nice of you.. some other people just don't care about it anymore and just thinks about theirselves only.. people doesn't care about people who needs their help that is why sometimes I feel so bad when I see people not helping others when they know that they can help them.

you re right. when i was doing community service when i was in first year college we donated canned goods and noodles to poor people. we handed them ourselves and the look on their faces as they reach for the food is priceless.

it was several years ago when i allowed little children to climb up my treehouse. they climbed even if its high. i ended up going further up the tree to make way for them and they filled the platform twenty feet up the ground. im glad i let them climb for if not they may not have that rare chance to be up and above the tree. that tree doesnt exist now but the kids have experienced what they have to experience.

Every body has an innate ability and want to help other people. The only reason why most people rise up to become more benevolent than the other is because they are "capable". How do we expect someone who's struggling as well to show a benevolent act to people who are in need around him?
But like what Jesus teaches us always -- "a small kindness is like a seed that grows when watered with more tiny trinkets of kindness."
I remember how my wife and I packed bags of candies to be given to street kids during holidays. The packing was very tedious but the reward was precious. We thought that it's time to give something back. We were having a tough time -- still are, I believe -- but God is the eye that sees all. He will bless us with abundance because we have our hands open -- and ready to share our blessings to people in need.

that is right, melloncollie but even those less fortunate people can render help because helping out others doesn't require monetary value, we can help other people spiritually, mentally or emotionally.. we can also give encouragement to others that is also a form of help already. Helping out has different branches to and anyone can help others in some particular way if they would want to. example, by being there for someone is already helping that person. :)

It always feels good to help other people only when you are not asked or forced to do it or the favor wasn't thrown at you. Helping people should be out of your own free will.

I think it's a nice thing when you help other people! There are certainly good feelings to be experienced when you do something like this. I guess this is what makes the world go around! If we all helped eachother then the world would be a far better place to live I'm sure. I guess we are all at different stages of progress in life and there will always be someone that is far better off than ourselves and by the same token I'm pretty sure that we are better off than some people as well. I do believe in the concept of karma and that is what you do for others, this is coming back at you whether it be good or bad! Andrew

I can understand where you are coming from there as I always realize how fortunate I am for my parents as there are so many less fortunate then we are.
I would definitely help out someone less fortunate then myself if I ever get the chance, because there are so many that don't have the greatest chances that life has to offer and being in the situation I was and my dad having a good job and us having a nice house.
I would like to give back to others that may not of had it as good as we did and as I have gotten older I have gotten to better appreciate how lucky we were to have it as good as we did, and now that I am out on my own now I really understand how good we had it as kids, and the chance to give back and help out others that don't have it as good as us would be a great thing that we can do to give back to those less fortunate then we are, and I would love to have that chance to do that and would gladly do it if I had the chance.

Yes, the less fortunate ones doesn't even get to experience what life has to offer, they are not just poor in terms of monetary value but they are also poor in terms of their spiritual being. We should definitely help these people and be thankful that we are not the one on their position.

I enjoy not only the good feeling it gives me helping others, but also the feeling it gives them so they don't have to feel like they do not matter, or they are a burden. Not one should ever have to feel that way when they are trying to be productive and having trouble with it.

It truly feels good to help others especially those who are less fortunate. I had two incidents when I helped other people at the same area. On the side of the road, there was a baby and her mother lying on a cardboard box. I went to a nearby bakery. I bought some bread and water and gave it to them. There was also another time on the same vicinity where there was a different mother and child sitting and on the other side, an old lady. My mom and I were going to the grocery that time so I bought some food, water, and a small tetra pack of milk for the baby. When we got back, I gave them the food and drinks. It feels happy to help them and it feels more happier to see their smiles. I hope I become a millionaire someday so I can support some charities and sponsor a child until college from our country. I hope sometimes that the very wealthy would share their part. I'm glad to see some rich people do their part.

you're right, I hope those people who are wealthy and filthy rich would just share some of their blessing to the charities to help out the poor people or less fortunate ones.. Their money is more than enough to support their family anyway, some our just too greedy hope they realize that there is more use to their money than just spending it on some non sense things.

if we do it voluntarily then of course its so nice to feel that way thinking you were able to help nor share your blessings to other people. besides we are quite lucky to have a good life than them. i also did that by giving my unused clothes to those who are affected by typhoon here where they dont have clothes to wear at all. at least by simple ways i can make them happy.

Yes, Of course there is a big difference in helping others voluntarily and against your will. It doesn't mean anything if you help others but it is against your will or just because you are being forced to. Helping should be voluntary and should come from the heart. :)

It feels great to be able to help someone else whether or not they are less fortunate. I've had people help me, for example when my motor was getting hot and this fellow (who could be my enemy politically) went to his car, got this huge container, and got water to quinch my car's thirst. I barely made it home (thirty miles away) that day. But I love the Long Ranger feeling when I've helped strangers and then took off for the sunset, because as another myLotter said, I feel blessed.

Yes that is so true.. Everyone has kindness deep inside of them but others are just being forced to do bad things because of their standing in life or because of society as well. no one wants to live the hard way that's why everyone will do anything just to live the good life. sometimes people are really being forced to do bad things even though they don't want to.
