if someone you trully hate like an ex or a rival would you help them in need? wether its money issues, stealing, or even if you seen them being mugged or being attacked would you help them and why?

If he will come personally to asked the help he/she needs i will of course.Helping others is not about thinking what they did to you but what you can do to help them...you'll feel great inside because even if you hated that person you still made an effort to helped him/her.Eventually after you helped them they will realized what they did to you was wrong or maybe after helping that person it'll end up the hatred you felt.

HI zsarhea: I agree with you, as my favorite singer in the whole world, James Walsh from Starsailor, it's nice to be good and good to be nice, so if this person forget his own pride and ask me for help I'd try to help him/ her and maybe that would be the way to end with a negative situation. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Yes...If they desperately need help...I would help them but of course that won't change my thinking on that person...It's better to help than to hate anyway...

i think i would. besides if in that kind of situation, we will not have the time to think of this person as someone we hate. an instinct to help would definitely be on its peak when we see people being attacked.

Hi cleo angel: I think that would be a very difficult decition but I think I'm a compassionate person so in the end I'll help this person even if this enemy won't say thank me for this. Thanks for starting this discussion. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

If I am in a position an able to help, I would. It is not whether I hate the person or not, it is whether I am able. If I am able to help, there is absolutely no reason not to. It called doing the right thing.

"hate" is a stong word. Maybe usualy we dislike someone. Though we dislike somebody,we will help them when they are mugged or attacked. In that condition,I think that everyone will help another.

Hi, xxcleoangelxx. As much as I dislike my mother-in-law, I would still do for her.. I don't hate her, I just dislike her ways towards me. One minute she is an angel to me, then the next thing that I know, she is a mean devil. I still will do for her because I love her and I don't like mistreating her the way that she has done me. I am not evil like she is to me.

i keep saying no but i find myself all the time doing it. its not so much for them but its about me. because it makes me feel good to help. but it also depend what they have done as well. like the dude who tried to rape my daughter then its oh hell no. if he was getting his butt kick i would help the person doing the butt kicking but if someone else, yeah i mostly likey would.

Hate is a very strong word, and hate and love are, actually, very close emotions. I love my son, but I can't stand to be around him. I hate the way he treats me...he is disrespectful and cruel. Yet, when he needs help, he doesn't hesitate to come to me for it, and, usually, I end up helping. Well, I did, but he has gotten my help for the last time. I don't hate him, I love him. But, I will no longer help him. So, I'm not sure if loving or hating someone dedermines whether or not you will offer help to them.
