Yeah! What's in it for me? Screw you. Screw you all to hell. Monkey.
Actually, I was quite helpful to this guy on the train this morning. The carriage was packed, but I had a seat. This guy walked on, his leg was in a cast and he needed a crutch to get around. I saw him standing there, falling all over the place like an idiot and I felt so sorry for him. So, I got out of my seat, ripped out his throat and put him out of his misery. I've been feeling good about myself all day.

Because it never hurts to be kind and helpful and you never know when your positive actions might make a big difference in someones day. We really do affect the people we come into contact with and there can be a ripple effect, bad or good, from that contact. Also, you don't know why that person is so cranky or grumpy today; it could be they are worried about a loved one, or money enough to pay the bills or....fill in the blank. But if you smile and are kind, I can guarantee that it will ease their way, whether you actually see it or not. Besides, it doesn't cost anything and it makes you feel good, so why not?

Being kind of helpful is an ancient behaviour that exist among humankind.
Some will be grateful for a helping hand and then you get people that don't want to be helped.
Look at all the super heroes humans created through comics and television.They are sometimes celebrated and sometimes not.Just like real life.So there is people that want others to be helpful.
So go out there and be someones super hero.

Have you ever imagined if people around you were not kind and helpful what would have happened to you.
Alternatively you can make a resolution today that You will not expect any kindness and any help from any one from today and do every thing by your effort alone. Why not try?

True! Why bother? That's my values, I choose to live life that way - to be kind and not expecting to be returned the same.

We all must be helpful for each other and there is nothing to be bother and in turn God will help us in all the ways.

You must understand that without some act of kindness in your life there would fewer moments of true peace. We must all learn to live together and learn respect otherwise we are as common as garbage you planted here.

Well, you better hope you never need any help from others because you are never going to be helped. Let's hope you get into an accident real soon

There is a distinction here.
Dont condescend to help a person.
Destroy their self-esteem and self-value by helping them.
Dont help a person who is of no value to you.
Importantly dont help a person if it is in opposite to ur values.
