Is there anyone who has never received help in their life? Is there anyone who has never asked for help, even once, at some point in life? We ask for help because human beings are social creatures and to a certain extent we are also helpless beings.
We constantly face needs and problems that are too great to solve alone. That is why humans ask for help. Even a physically strong and healthy person may ask someone else for assistance when needing to lift or move something heavy. In that sense all of us live by receiving help from others. No one has ever lived or can live entirely without anyone’s help.
Haven’t you heard people say things like, “I don’t need anyone’s help; I can take care of myself”?
Such statements often stem from misplaced pride in one’s own ability, wealth, health, or influence and from a tendency to misjudge others.
Yet, even when we seemingly have everything, there come moments when none of it seems enough and we are forced to accept help from others.
It is not only important to understand that accepting help is not wrong. We must also realize that offering help is a duty and whether we are giving or receiving help, we must always remember this: It is not right to ask for help constantly. Help should be sought only when truly necessary.
Continuously relying on others for everything leads to a loss of self-worth. Moreover, it can become a form of exploitation -using others for one’s own benefit.
Helping someone is a mark of generosity. Don’t we have systems like “Help Desks” in place?
Only someone with a large heart can reach out to help another.
What a beautiful moment it is when someone voluntarily extends a hand to guide another through a difficult time.
How many people’s help have we relied on to get to where we are now?
How many people we expected to help us, ended up turning their backs?
How many doors closed in our faces when we knocked for help?
It doesn’t matter. Someone somewhere will always be there to help you.
Cherish every bit of help you receive with gratitude, as you would a treasure.
And use every opportunity you get to be that help for someone else.
