Life is so tough for most of the people.There are so many people around us who are leading a miserable life.How to help them?In fact we are so busy in our lives that we don't even bother to look at the low class people.Suddenly one day we listen that the local postman is no more after a long ailment or the office peon is not coming due to a sudden mishap in the form of an accident or being fired.We can't see ahead of our nose.This is not life.Sometimes a smile even can be a great support for a person in agony or problem.When you cause a smile for others it gives them courage and they feel important and like to be noticed.If you help somebody with money its a great virtue but if you relief people with you gentle and friendly attitude its the greatest virtue.What do you think?

Yes life is tough for all of us and each one of us has got different approach when it comes to dealing with the things that is happening into our lives. Some people stays miserable or decide to become miserable because they do not have the guts to face up to the challenge. I try to help others as much as I can, but I will never put their misery on my shoulder. Yes a smile or a simple pat on the shoulder can brighten up the day of someone. As for money, we must always try our best to help others financially whenever we can. But we must never let people take advantage of our generosity and sensitive heart.

I think that talking to people is going to help both them and you. There are a lot of elderly people who just need somebody to talk to, and if you are the person who takes the time to do this then you're going to get a sense of achievement from doing so. In addition to this, you can often get a lot from talking to people as you can learn a lot both about them and about the world that you live in, and that is something that can be very rewarding. I know that I get a lot out of helping people, and they are always grateful that I have taken the time to help them.

it is true that we can't think of anything apart from ourselves these days. I don't know what has struck human minds that it is become common and keeps on increasing. the love and affection towards other human is gone. Trust me I feel for other but can't do much. These people I feel for are financially unfortunate and i do not have extra to give them. We called a man to clean out garden for the restaurant and he is very old fellow. I felt sorry for him because it is his time to relax in his life and not to work like so hard. I helped him do the garden whole day. I gave him tea about 10am and then after he came back after lunch, I gave him a glass of soft drink. Then again I gave him tea at 4.30pm. I helped him alot so that he has less work to finish. After his time was over, I had to pay him. I called hubby and he said for him to wait for him. he was waiting but then he said he will collect the money next day since he has to cook. I asked him if his wife is there or anybody he is staying with. he said he does not have any wife and either does he live with anyone. He said he was all alone by himself. I felt so sorry. I felt like crying. My heart was crying. The day I have money i will take all these old people and put them in a house and I will supply them with the food and everything. I will tell them to just relax. And even if they wanted to do something. Do it there in the house which I give them. I want them to be peaceful. I heart cries. I want to do lots for these people whom i know who need care. There is another old man who can't even walk properly but goes to work in a small restaurant in our village. He is so thin and he passes my house everyday. When I see him, I told my husband that the day i have plenty with my cups overflowing I will give this man and tell him not to work anymore. I wish that day comes fast. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.
