Helping someone you don't like...

We are all different Viju, we don't like each other the way we are, that's why we collect friends similar to our characters or completely different but we still have a point or two, or even more to build up good relations or friendship. But such human needs like someone fell and needs a hand to stand up, or someone is trying to kill him and you are helping the person to not get killer or hurt, it is in our nature I think. Even if we don't like someone we are still people blessed with heart and we are unable to watch how someone get hurt or suffer in front of out eyes. If we were able to help and haven't done it, it will eat our conscience. In our building there are only pensioners living. To be honest I don't like talking to them at all, some are annoying, others are full of madness. When we first came into this building our neighbors who are near to us and we separate the same wall for our living rooms were making us problems for the noise. They called our landlord and told him we are living too loud, we take showers too late at the night and so on ... To be honest I don't like them all. Second night when we spent here we made party with our friends and their daughter came on our door with the question "Who are you here?". But now we say hello or just simple chat when we meet in the corridors. I don't like doing it, but in the name of the peace for all us and our relations I can't ignore them.

It is good that you helped this lady, even though you do not really like her, especially since she was injured and really needed your help. I think the fact that she did not want to stand up right away was probably a combination of shock and pain. I am glad to hear that after she recovered a bit she was kind to you as well. I have helped people that I did not like if they really needed the help, especially if they were hurt or in danger. I think that is the right thing to do, and I would hope that they would do the same thing for me if the situation were reversed. There are only a few people that I would not help regardless of the situation, and even these people I cannot say with 100% certainty that I would not help them if the situation were really serious, even though they have done some very bad things to me in the past.

Hi viju... Years ago, i was attempted to be murdered. Last year, i got the judgement from court and that person got the punishment. If that family needs any help, then a big NO from me. Otherwise my helping hand is always available for friend and foe. Friend gets honored and foe gets realized... let them realize and lament. Have a nice time.

hello viju, Good job That is human instinct. In times like this we sometimes forgot about our feelings or what is between us with the other person. What we have in mind is to help the needy- as we are not in a warzone. I won't hesitate doing the same thing even if I don't like the other person or I am not close to the person. To help someone is a privilege that doesn't cross our way everyday, therefore we should let it pass. have a great day

I'm glad that you helped her out. I would help someone out if they were in a situation like that even if I don't have favorable feelings toward them. It's best to help someone out we never know if we would be in there shoes someday. I hope that she is recovering well.

viju, good to hear that you helped that unsocial aunty, really it shows your kindness, there is nothing wrong in helping the persons whoever we hate, by this way we can make a good friendship with them. Hope the aunty never forget about your help and here after you both have a good friendship

You have done a great service and at the same time discovered that your neighbor is not a bad person afterall. She may have unpleasant character not to your liking but there is still a soft spot in this woman that mesmerized you which could reconnect the missing link.

wow! that's a good job. weather we like it or not we have to help each others out because we cannot depend on ourselves all the time. I salute you for giving out a helping hand even in doubt and a few sweet words melt your heart away which means you're absolutely a person with great personality and a big heart...

Hello viju, it's clear that this person is old and have tendency to be less patient than the younger ones. maybe they have been very pessimistic for a long time with her husband as to why people aren't so fond of them. you have done something really good for the rest of the people, i wish i can be nice to misguided people some day

Hi viju Helping anyone at the time of need (on a good context like this) is always something really great. I am happy that you did it. Not all will do this kind of acts. For me, yes, there have been some incidents where I had helped the "not so lovable" people and I was also misunderstood once. But then, I dont care in how and what you think, I think and do what I feel right. Back in village, there is this "betu" whom I never liked, he is a shopkeeper (grocery seller) who always charges his own rates, talks filthy about customers with other customers and his language too isnt that polite. Almost no one liked him. One rainy night he closed the shop and was returning back home, met with some accident and there was blood loss. Someone found him and took him to the hospital. News spread, his family is illiterate and his kids too young at that time. No one had access to money at home or anywhere. And they needed blood. This was one time when I donated my blood for this person. And some people also took me wrongly that I am trying to win the shopkeeper as a friend to get my stuff at cheaper rates and what not! but that is how things are at villages! Unfortunately, it has been 14 years since I last went to my village.

We are all bound to help others, either those we like or not and we help them because they do need our help. but when we help others,we need not expect or wait for rewards.

It is our duty to help our neighbors when they are in need whether we like or dislike them. When we help somebody, we should not ask or wait for rewards for helping somebody. Wait for the Almighty for blessings in return for the good deeds we make

When someone needs help, whether you know him or not, you should offer a helping hand. If you help someone you don't like, you might become friends after all. You realize that he is nice after all.

Wow, bless your soul! Kudos for looking past your own feelings in order to the right thing, and that is to overlook this lady's past attitudes to you. So far I haven't done this yet, as I have yet to witness someone that will need my help. I may not like a few people because of the way they treat me even though I wasn't doing anything wrong to them, but it sure is not reason enough to deny them immediate help if they really require it. As what most people would say, its always better to be the one to extend help than be the one to need it.

hi viju I realize you are from India and I am here in the USA. but we have a saying that Christ once said"Thou you help the leasst of them, you also help me" I am a Christian and I have helped others whom I was not comfortable with and found that the only reason I had not been comfortable w as I had believed arumor that this woman was a snob , and very unfriendly.I found out she was not snobby nor unfriendly but just shy like myself. We became good friends and when I mov ed and called back in search of her, she had just passed away from fast growing cancer.,

I think I've done it a lot in my life now . Be it someone at home or school. I don't know why but I don't think its hard to help someone who is in need.

Hello Viju, Its great job you did.I know its not easy to help people whom we don't like. Its like you i also forget that i don't like that person and always extend my helping hand to him/her when he/she needs it.There are few people who think like you Viju if we all think like this may be we would be able to make this world a better place to live.
