How far is too far when it comes to helping others?

whiteheron @whiteheron (4222) • United States 22 Apr 08

How far would you go to help others? Would you give someone a lot of money? Would you suffer pain or even the loss of a kidney for him? How far is too far? What are your limits.

soulofwolf It really depends on the other. For example, if the other is not ready to change than ANY investment is too much; whereas, if the other is actively seeking and ready for help, then going to hell to help is no problem. Having been a substance abuse...
