I have often wondered how so many people can live life with no concern for others. I have tried to live life by doing good because I find that it is good for the soul. I find great pleasure in helping people in need whenever I can. I grew up in a simple household where both my parents lived and struggled to make ends meet. My parents always taught us to be generous and to give unselfishly. We didn’t have a lot of money but we always donated to people in need, whether it was money, clothing, or help in the fields, or chores in general.
I think if everyone would live their lives with thoughts of others rather than over indulging in their own wants, this place would be much better. Happiness is not about just getting things for ourselves. There is a greater pleasure in participating in meaningful activities and helping others. It’s just a good feeling, being able to help others. Joy comes from true love for others, and knowing when and how to be available to help when help is needed.
