Being of Help

To some of you out there who has a yearning to help others, this post is for you. It is all well and good to try and help others who are in need but if it becomes detrimental to yourself then you must question if the action is in this suitable.

You must think too of yourself for though others may need your help, but if you are in as a bad situation as them, perhaps it is better to help yourself first. Once you help yourself then can you help others. For example you are on a battlefield and you are a medic, and your friend is injured, and so are you. If you get hit more and you die who else can you heal? So with that in mind if you help others while being unbalance would that not further unbalance them?

Also sometime it is not necessary in helping those who doesn't want help perhaps the best help you can give them is the help by not helping. If you already gave advice and they do not listen then any further advice given will only aggravate the situation so therefore the best thing to do is to sit back and relax and wait out the storm. Let them decide for themselves whether they want further help from you.

So I leave you with these words, help only those who are in need, including yourself. But do not help needlessly for needless help only result in needless healing.
