Q：1.What do you think of helping others?
2.How do you help others in your daily life?

答案

Support is an interesting beast.I’d like to think that if I’m helping someone,I’m doing so without the expectation that they would one day do for me a particular service.But to be honest,when I would like a little help and it doesn’t come from the people who I’ve helped,people who I’d like to believe would want to help me without me even having to ask.It’s a pretty rotten feeling,a feeling I wonder why I have.
If I am truly to say I have no expectations of return,then surely,when no return comes I shouldn’t be affected by it at all,right?
I suppose,it’s always that much more real when it actually happens.And in truth pure altruism is rare,if it exists in humans at all.
I’ve seen memes going around on social network outlets that have statements along the lines of “Don’t help those,who don’t help you” this on the surface makes sense,but is in direct contradiction to the selfless,community aware persons we are supposed to be.However to be altruistic means self sacrifice,as one would always prioritise the needs of others over their own,even at their own expense.
So which one,does one choose?
Do I seek altruism,even to the detriment of my own progress?
Or do I refuse to help/support anyone unless clear understanding of a return of favour is established?
I do believe balance is key to everything (or at least most things),finding that balance however perhaps isn’t as easy as one might like,it’s a continual learning experience
I certainly cannot claim to be selfless,although I don’t necessarily expect a return of favour,it would be nice if that happened.But,I do have to accept that it won’t always happen,and if it doesn’t,I then have to decide if I should continue to help/support said person,or if that person has used up all the ‘damns’ I have to give.
It’s not something one can put a number on,so in closing,I shall say,pay attention to your feelings,they would tell you things about yourself you may not want to know,but would have to deal with.
