Real Happiness is in helping others.

I do help others, I feel like this is one of my calling. I just can't turn my head to those you need my help (those obviously needly). I am thinking that if I'll die this would be one of my legacy that people will always remember me. I do share what I have specially to the people close to me. I send 2 of my cousin to school and my nephew and nieces too. I do hope that one day they will have a good future. I am hoping too that one day they will do the same helping people.

I'm happy for you that you feel that way. Actually, your feeling is Biblical since that is the essence of being alive: "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind." -- Eclesiastes 12:13 "Let us not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." -- Galatians 6:9 - 10 I am urging you to find a group of people who share the same feeling with you.

I think that you're quite right when you say that you can indeed get a lot of happiness from helping other people. Only today when I was in the supermarket, an elderly lady dropped something on the floor and I picked it up for her. This made me feel good because she was so clearly grateful for what I had done for her. I often leave change in vending machines when I leave them, because this means that the next person will be able to get something for free, and this will hopefully put them in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Yeah,everybody just had their own happiness,and i'm really enjoy the feeling of helping others.It's really great that i can try my best to help other people when they encounter problems,so i always choose to be volunteer.Have a nice day and hope you also enjoy your happy life.

helping other to conquer themselves and not by just giving money or food to the poor... no such people are poor on this world if they only conquer themselves... it doesn't matter if someday that person you help become as successful as you are, the most important is you help the person conquer himself...

Nice. My oratory piece was Apathy: Another Epidemic. Was one of us a little more cynical than the other? :) Really I think we were both on the same track, though mine was a lot further in the past than yours. Both trying to get people to care, to find goodness in humankind. I hope more than not, people are working toward the greater good. As you said, fulfillment comes from personal satisfaction, and that often comes from service.

You are very right indeed. You will always find happiness by helping others. In fact, that is the reason why I became a rescuer. I took up accounting way back in college. But during my second year, I joined a volunteer rescue group. I realized that there is indeed happiness in helping people so and so that after graduating from my accounting course, I decided to concentrate on rescue work and joined the rescue unit and became a paramedic. I stayed with the unit for 13 years. Well, now, I no longer work with rescue but I still conduct training to teach people on saving lives and helping others during emergency. Still, I find the joy from deep within.

Short and true. I like your little piece. It's nice to help people in need and it even gives you a sense of contentment once you know you did something right. Give yourself a pat on the back if you've done so.
