I remember when life was so difficult, and I didn't know what to do, literally. What I discovered was the more I tried to recall the "good things O'l days",  the more I felt hopeless. Believe it our not there lies a hidden relieve in all the misery, if you can help someone that is in a worst condition then you, (trust me no matter how down in the gutter you think you are, there's always someone who's always lower, that needs YOUR help!) do it. Please tell me if I'm wrong then I won't help anyone again, but if I'm right then your reward/relieve lies in the beneficiary's eyes, smile, words, gratitude and more. Now try a little kindness, TODAY and tell me how it feels. Cheers!

    yup, you are correct! helping others can uplift you high into the heavens!

    while a person is complaining about not having any shoes.... there is someone who does not have any feet!

    I think you are right.  I had some health problems last year and have since created another blog elsewhere to help others like me.  The feedback I get from others is very rewarding and makes my load a little lighter.

    mac,
    There is much to be said about giving of yourself and helping others.  If you've ever been down to the gutter in life, you know what it feels like. So, you want to help other people do it too.  That's a good thing. Because life can be tough and even tougher for some other people.  Thank you for spreading the word.

    mac,
    The practice of a good deed is a reward in itself.

    Day, you have a point there, it seems the only challenge is having the will to do something good.
  • day2day said on Aug 18, 2008....
    mac,
    I would think that would be inherent in all of us to do good. Unfortunately most people are too selfish and can't think outside their box. But, some do.
