Call me weird. But honestly, I feel satisfied when I’m able to help people. As long as you are my acquaintance I don’t mind helping. But of course, the degree of help varies. Don’t expect me to give up an arm and a leg to you just because I only know you for a day.
I’m not sure when I developed this sense of satisfaction from helping out people. The only thing that I can recall clearly was helping a close friend of mine overcoming his suicide intention. The situation was intense. He was depressed and thought about giving up. But all I did was just open my ears to listen to him and also to provide him with advice. And I was glad that it is enough. He never ended his life. Instead he is still living on well and is married.
That particular incident has a very big impact on me. It thought me that being unselfish is good. In this case, I’ve saved a life. My friend’s life. And I do hope that you, readers, would be helpful too. Help in a way that you can and I’m sure you will be satisfied when you see their happy face again.
