    Some people try to help others but not extend fully

    Helping others is really a task in human. I have seen some persons relative or non relative extend their help fully and voluntary. Of course there is a saying as voluntary help is not advisable but practically speaking helping others voluntary is really a great thing.
    But some people never extend even their little finger towards helping others in the gesture that they have no time.
    Some others ready to help others but half handed only.
    Yesterday a person who came to the nearby hotel, where I went to buy parcel tiffin, told me that a medical shop offering nearly 50 percent concession on celebrating their first year anniversary of opening. But to convey others, I asked place to him. But he suddenly replied that he did not know the place. How can we treat this help?

    Helping others should be a part of our life. When there is a need for the other person and if you can do something, definitely we should do that. If we are not able to help, at least we should show somebody who can help them. At the same time, we also should think that the person who is asking for help requires it genuinely or not also. We should not help in undeserving cases. We need not hesitate to give food to a person who is hungry irrespective of his/her attitude.
    I think, in the situation mentioned by the author, he may not really know the name of the medical shop where a 50% discount is offered. At least, he informed others about the information he got. If we are interested we should find the place by searching in newspapers or in the internet. If the other person knows the place and not informing only we can find fault with him.

    The post has nicely brought out the topic of half hearted help. There are some persons in this world who are kind hearted and always extend help to others. Today if the world is a good place then it is because of such people only. At the same time there are some selfish people who only think of themselves and never extend help to others. Today if the world is not a good place then it is because of these people.
    Let us come to the half hearted help. Some people who are generally reluctant to help do this type of things. They will appear to be helping but they never complete that action and the recipient is left in the lurch.

    Knowledge is power.

    I believe that there are three special ways can be seen to help, the first is to help someone from the heart, it has come to mind and now we just want to bring that smile to the life and on the face of the person in front, for this, we will do whatever help we can. There is no longing to get anything back in such help, just by helping, a different feeling is felt. On the other hand, there is help that a person has to show to the world or do under compulsion on someone's advice, often after helping, the person remains sad inside. And the third type of help different from all these is where the person is helping now but with the expectation of getting something in return. Out of the three, the first help which is selflessness can actually become an important factor in your happy life and we should always keep doing such help.

    Though the thread has some valid points, the quoted incident as example for the thread message does not suit properly. There was no intention of any help there from that person. It may be just a time pass gossip, icebreaking effort or a conscious promo. It does not fit into the category of help. If the author also has some real intention of helping, he should have made some more enquiries in and around the place ,at least with some nearby medical stores. Otherwise he could have simply ignored it as a blabbering by anonymous.

    It may not be possible always to give full help to a needy person. The help intending person may not have the means and ways for that, but could meet a part of it. When more parts(more people) join then they can give the full needed help. The principle behind crowd funding is that only.

    As the saying goes ..'something is better than nothing...." and " little drops of water make the mighty ocean.." Even little doses of help from many people can make the life of the needy.
