Do not talk to strangers - a popular saying that reminds us that we should not easily trust people. However, it doesn't say, do not help a stranger. So in helping a person, you could create a relationship. You gain a friend. Just like in a restaurant, the posts of the building are posted with 'SHARE A SIT, AND WIN A FRIEND'. So, here's a question have you ever experienced winning a friend after helping him/her? How many times?

hi cjsalas really nice post , i agree with you it`s cool to help other even a stranger but we should also consider who and when because it will be so sad when we try help people but they misunderstand more dangerous if they think we help them for something hidden.

Thank you for the comment dccell. Yes, it's true. People might misunderstood our help. However, are we going to help is it's obvious that our help is not needed? Hmmm... At times, motives of different type of people arises here. And you are right, we should be careful.

"do not talk to strangers" applies to kids and toddlers. If you are an adult, it doesn't apply to you. People will view you as anti-social. Its always good to lend a helping hand. Of course, you must be helping him/her for a good cause. If you are helping the person to cheat then its a different story.

There is nowhere written that you have to help only to friends. Helping a needed person is not wrong, even if he/she's a stranger. I have made a few good friends that way.
