When we go through difficult times, we may find a hand that can help us. But it’s not always like this. Many times, we have to solve our problems alone in order to get ahead.
When we overcome the crisis, we can develop the attitude of courage and think “they didn’t help me and I’m not going to help anyone”. But on the contrary, we should say “if I can I will not let anyone go through the difficulties I went through”. It is your decision which of the two to apply. In my opinion and in my life, I have applied that of helping the one who is going through what I went through. It is very likely that I cannot solve all their problems, but I provide all the help I can. You must be the change you want to see in this world.
Help is not always about material items it can be advice, support, guidance and teaching others what we have learned. In my case, I have applied the retribution and I can say without fear of being mistaken that the result is enriching. Not everyone will appreciate what you do, but you will grow as a human being.
If we apply this term to all aspects of coexistence in society, we can find a part of the formula for living a more meaningful life. As the Prophet says “these are those who believe in life and the generosity of life and their coffers are never empty.
