Helping people in a good samaritans way

I heard a news about a father driving 2 children along the way to Utah, a skiing resort. On their way, he lost control of the car in a canyon road and went into the icy water. Luckily, some people pass by help rescue the 2 children and the father. That is kind of inspiring. I don't remember I ever had done something bravery like that. But from these daily news with those heroic rescues, you know that, we as people can not stand by like a bystanders and not do nothing about to help others. That just selfish. You might know there is a danger or risk in front of you, but put yourself in a dangerous situation, you also hope others can come to rescue you. Why can't you do the same to others.

That situations always happened in a day all over the world.There re lots of good samaritans all over the places to help people who are in need.Helping others is a really a great feelings.For me,I do help into others as much as possible evenin simple ways I can like giving something in beggars in streets that I passed, helping other people when asking directions other simple help I could do in people who are in need for help.

As much as possible, when someone needs help I would volunteer myself. Even in simple ways, I make people happy and also myself I am happy. It is a fulfillment really to be in service with other people.

That is very true. I have always been the one to help others but no one has ever came to help me in the fullest extent. Most never even help even a little bit.

I think there are many ways you can help a person even witout putting yourself into danger. Some people put themselves in danger because they like the danger the kick, others can't because they see the danger, others don't see the danger and just act (and are shocked afterwards). So it depends on the person, his character, way of thinking what he will do when. I wonder if it's really true you will rescue someone just because you hope someome would do the same for you. Personally I think that is a bad reason and also a selfish one it has nothing to do with samaritanian
