Helping Hand



'Help' is a very common word originated from German word helfen, means to assist someone in efforts. Its a word provided to prove that you care as a human, Help is lot more then a foundation of a good soul of human being. In trouble you need someone to share his hand so that you can get out of the situation, Life is full of difficulties, ups and downs, twist and turns, but a small help makes it worth coming out of those undesirable situations. From childhood we've always been taught to help our friends, siblings or anyone and thats when you start realizing the happiness to help. Whether you know that person whom you are helping or not, you always feel a good soul working inside you when you give a helping hand. Helping someone unconditionally could bring smile on faces but when the help turns out to be selfish it just end up in ungenerous soul. Helping someone is not that easy i must say, because while helping someone, a person has to think of the other person with all his heart without thinking of himself and yes believe me its tough for a selfish soul. I am sure everybody needs help at some point of time in life, but sometimes the situations are exceptional, where you have to decide whom to help, yourself or the other person. And thats when your real values comes out. Situations can place you in a dilemma and you simply don't have any idea what to do. You should simply listen to your soul and help. Ronald Reagan said We can't help everyone but everyone can help someone. So next time when you think you can help, just do it. 
Help in anyway will make a contribution to kindness.
I want to share a story here, A young kid was sitting on a bench on a hot sunny day with his guitar, he was humming a song he heard from his grandfather, people who were passing by were listening to him. On the other side of the bench there was a person sitting on his bench and was reading a book. He was not very happy with the kid's music as he was getting distracted in his reading. At once the person asked that kid to stop playing and he stopped. While reading, the person was laughing out loud as the book was funny. Suddenly the kid asked, what are you reading ? And the person replied its a funny book. Can you give me? The kid said. What? The book I am reading? The person said. 
I meant the Eyes. Give them once you have used them. I can't read as I am blind. The kid said.
This instance shook that person unto his soul and he decided to help at least one person each day. He also donated his eyes so that he can help someone to see.
This Story brings out a lot about how situations can bring you into a fix where you cannot decide what to do? The kid decided to help that person by not playing his music and the person who was unaware about the situation of the kid decided to change his attitude in life. He helped others later and also himself by changing his attitude.
Help is not favor, its a responsibility every human should perceive. Never back off to help because you never know the next time who would back off for your help.
