It was probably 8 yrs ago that i realised that i wanted to help out people... it wasn’t a God sent signal or a spark but over a period of time i realised that there was lot of things that i could probably do to help out others... when i started putting my thoughts into action i realised that it made me feel better... and so the activities went on and on making me feel better and better...
Few days ago around 2 3 ppl advised me that i need to cut down on all these social activities... on being asked for a reason they were like “y waste important time in such things... anyway ppl hardly value free things... u can use that time for something better...”
It got me thinking since it wasn’t a single person telling me that but almost 3 of them... i was like reasoning between 1) y i should continue and 2 ) y i shouldn’t ???.... I first thought about the people i help out... I try to improve someones life in whatever small way i can... Even though it is a ‘small way’ for me i realise that it probably is ‘something big’ for the needy. When i turn back and recollect all the responses from the ppl whom i have helped i realised that i probably stimulated a sense of well being... a sense of hope.... a sense of positiveness in them... and their thanking me or their appreciating my work or the small smile i could install on their faces probably brought happiness in me...
So maybe if u think deep down i might not be doing all these social activities for others but for myself... its what probably makes me happy... the smile on ur face brings a smile on my face too...
