When people help each other by giving, sharing the workload or teaching, they improve their communities. If they don't help each other, they leave themselves open to an increased likelihood of violence and/or insecurity. When you know you can count on your family to help you, it strengthens and improves the family bond. Children especially need to know they can turn to their families so that they're not influenced as negatively by others. When people help those in need of food or medical help, it saves lives. Other people will remember when you helped them and reciprocate if you ever need it in an emergency. When friends and acquaintances help teach each other how to do things, their skill and security increases. Examples include gardening, reading and cooking. Co-workers who focus on team work rather than competition will be less overwhelmed and feel more secure. This improves production and decreases the job turnaround rate. It's a good feeling to help someone else and see them smile. Often when people help others, they forget about their own problems. Changing Minds: Theories About Helping OthersFamily Bonding

Helping is caring ._.

Because "no man is an island". Everybody needs somebody sometime. Today you're the helper. Tomorrow you're the helpee. That's the way it goes. Everybody wins when everybody is helping somebody else. When you help someone you are playing your part in the circle of life. If not, you're dead wood.

When you help others, you are helping yourself.

Helping others is so so very important. Mother Earth is recieving so many great efforts by people on earth. With our continued efforts toward recycling, feeding those who are hungry and our visions of brotherhood, abundant crops, no adversity with lots and lots of brotherly love. The only change to this planet will be that we have been waiting for centuries "Thy kingdom comes, thy will be done on earth that it is in heaven" We have some work to do and now is the time. Visualize World Peace and abundance for everyone on earth.

Because there's always people in need, and when I can help them then I can help everyone. Problems are to be solved and happiness is to be found.

We help others for the good of all our fellow humans. If you fall down, I'll extend my hand to help you up; if you have a problem or feel sad, I'll listen and show you I care. If you're hungry, I'll feed you; if you're dying, I'll hold your hand and provide comfort. We help others because it is in our nature as humans,we are not happy when we're selfish. "In about the same degree that you are helpful, you will be happy." a quote by Karl Reiland.
