I have a nature of helping others as whenever I see someone in trouble I want to give my hand to that person so as he/she comes out of trouble but sometimes I get thoughts that who helps me when I am in trouble. I know I shouldn't think like this as this is wired but I never overcome such thoughts. What about you do you think like this?

i dont think that way but i know for sure that i will be repaid, may not be in the same manner and it may not be right away. in God's time it'll happen so dont worry.

@sjvg1976 well it may not be coming from the person you have given your help to. in His own will.

@MGjhaud hmm but when can help people who never helped me then why can't I expect. Sometimes those too whom I helped also didn't turn up.

I do help people with no return. I think it adds up with good karma.

I never gave it any thought. My husband always comes to my rescue.

I think it's normal for people to want to be helped in return for helping others—if not necessarily by those who you've helped, then by others who are in positions to help you. As long as it doesn't make you angry, demanding, or resentful, I don't think there's a reason to feel guilty. Other people are not under any obligations to you. Sometimes they have obligations you're not aware of and really can't help you. And sometimes (let's face it) they're just jerks.

May anyone help you or not but you should not loose this quality. If you think who help you so why you help other than there is no difference in you and others.
