Random Acts Of Kindness — Giving Unconditional Help To Others
Helping others is one of the noblest acts that can be done by humans. The virtues of being of service to individuals who need it most has been extolled as one of the duties and obligation of being called a human being.
Yet often people do not help out of compassion, but because it is customary to do so, or for some motives that may range from being perceived as a good person to getting some benefit out of the act. If there is a motive behind the act then it cannot be termed as help. It becomes a ‘business’ deal.
Real help is when one helps out of his feeling of compassion. Knowing that he is in a unique position to extend help to the person and appreciate this opportunity to do something worthwhile.
Helping is Not about Money Only
Often people think they are unable to help people because they cannot spare money. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Money is just one way, and a very limited way to help others.
There are hundreds of other ways we can help people. Even if money is the necessary requirement to help a person, we can always tell them from where and how to get money to solve their problem.
For example, if we come across an unemployed youth who needs money for his family requirements, we can guide him to the proper sources where he can get funds for becoming self-employed.
If someone is facing the financial problem with respect to a medical emergency; he can be advised to get help from charitable and philanthropic agencies who help in such matters.
There are several other ways in which people can be helped without spending a penny.
What it Takes to Help People
The first requirement to be helpful to others is a compassionate sensitive heart, which can feel the helplessness of others and a sense of commitment towards the unfortunate ones.
You will notice that helping others will make you more strong, capable and resourceful. You will be able to tap your own hidden resources and potentials that you were unaware of.
