do you expect rewards after helping people?

The one thing I expect for helping another, is for them to pass the kindness along to someone else that might need some help. My reward, is the feeling I get for doing the right thing. Helping others should come naturally, and expecting that people to pass along the love in any way they can is reward enough. Love is free, smiling at someone that'[s having a rough day, or simply giving a hug...those are all free.

hello everyone... i really don't expect people to say they owe me one. i would just expect my rewards from God to give me what i want in life...

Unless its a situation where we both expect a payment to happen after the help, no I don't expect any payment. Like, when I find a lost animals family and they try to give me money for the time that I had it, and for bringing it back safely to them, I won't accept it. I have pets and I would want someone to help me get them back without expecting payment (although I would gladly offer it if it meant getting my pet back). If it's something I volunteered to help someone with, it's going to remain a volunteer thing and I won't accept any money.

i dont really. but i do have some who will give me a few dollars for helping since they know i am having a hard time. but its what you get inside that counts

Hi Maxen, For the last segment of you discussion, Yes, there are many things that are still free and would remain free - Sunshine, Water, Air, Nature and so on. I don't think that many share my views but I personally believe in this. I always have believed in the theory - If you are doing help/charity never expect the returns. That has kept me interested in this help or charity thing. If I start expecting returns from this, then very soon, I will hate this thing because things get really messed up when you start expecting and things don't go as you expected them. So better to stay away from expectations and continue doing the good work.

whenever i help people i don't expect anything in return -it's much ethical this way. i would be happy enough to know that i have helped someone - it gives me a sense of self worth - that would be enough.. i do anticipate though that i will be rewarded for the good thing i've done although not directly and not instantly - call this good karma :)

i could not even recall, well i do not expect in return, but the rewards is find with me, ahahah, thanks nice discussion here, keep moving

i don't expect some reward from people now. in someways I had helped them but in the first place it's my own decision and will to help them. I am not force to help. a little thank you means a lot to me. This just means with our random act of kindness there are still people who appreciates and acknowledges our good acts. It means I also teach that person that helping needs own will and not just for rewards. hopefully, with my help people will also pay it forward.
