[mylifeismine] ON HELPING OTHERS

hi sangita,

thank you for touching on helping other people. from discovering
one's self to going BEYOND one's self i.e. sharing and helping
others. in maslow's hierarchy of needs, that is the foundation
of "self-actualisation". that is why it is so important to know
exactly what you believe in, what you stand for, and where you're
going. from there you'll serve as a guide to those who need your
guidance. the act of "giving" in itself is a very liberating
experience (from the clutches of materialism and consumerism) and
also serves as a self-perpetuating activity that ultimately will
leave your mark on society.

going to reflect upon and improve society as a whole. So we are doing
something for society ultimately. In your own small way if you can
help a few people around you, the ones you come in contact with in
your daily lives you are already doing a great deal. Sometimes it
takes very little to put a smile on someones face. I've seen it; I
have worked with a lot of poor patients. The smile, that look, not
necessarily of gratitude but of hope is one of the best gifts you can
receive. Each life is precious, making a differance to one life is
all that is required.

That's all I have any control over - me :-) . Every person can make a
difference. Every person does make a difference, but they don't think
they do. Therein lies the difference.

never agree on the individual being in total control of their own
reality as you put it. Yes external factors are paramount. We all
just servants of the system that we create with cliches and elite
philosophy. Being polite doesn't serve philosophy or it's purpose.
Socrate was a loved hated person that was called upon when needed by
the aristocrates. Philosophy has guidelines now, and question that
have no purpose or use in our society. What are we really doing in
this group? What would you say to the hundreds of People that have no
control of the economy and can't afford to pay for anything? Is this
reality bending with the wind, please feel free to disiderater me
with that philosophy anytime. It does not serve any purpose.
Philosophy was the birth of ideas and synopis of society direction.
