Should we help others?

Source

Helping others is considered a positive and fulfilling action I would say that yes we should help others. Helping others fosters community, builds strong relationships, and can lead to personal happiness and growth. By helping others I have contributed to a better society, created a sense of belonging, and also experienced a deeper sense of purpose in my life.

Although, despite how good it is for us to help others, it is good for us to balance helping others with self-care and we should ensure that our help or assistance to others is genuinely beneficial and not enabling unhealthy behaviors. A companionate help that we give to others can make a significant difference in the lives of others, as we also do well to make ourselves happy.

Should we help someone when he asks for it or should we help without being asked?

This depends on the circumstances of whom we are to help and how financially okay we are. The thing is whether to help someone when they ask for it or to help without being asked all depends on the people involved and the solution that needs to be solved.

Helping Someone when he asked: This approach means that our help is needed and appreciated. It is the type of help that respects the other person's autonomy and allows them to seek assistance when they truly need it. When someone needs something from you and you have it help him or her and you will see that the person will appreciate it because you have solved his or her desire needs.

Helping someone without being asked: This approach means a sign of attentiveness and care, most especially when you notice that the person whom you have helped or are about to help is struggling or the person is afraid or ashamed of asking. This type of help can be a proactive way of supporting someone before the person's issues or situation becomes too much for him or her to carry. In conclusion, this is important we are sensitive to other people's feelings and not impose help that might land us in trouble.

Who comes forward to help the fastest among men and women?

Helping someone is based on individual personality, cultural norms, upbringing, and specific situations rather than looking at gender whether it is men or women.

When it comes to helping women are faster in providing emotional support, and caregiving, due to cultural and socialization expectations. Men on the other side of it are more inclined to engage in heroic or situational helping like intervening in emergencies helping a lady and so on. However, if we are to generalize this, it is men who are faster in helping than women.

It is said that even God is pleased by "helping each other". Who believes in this?

The belief that helping others pleases God is shared across many religions and spiritual traditions across the religions we have across the world. Example;

Christianity: In the Christian religion, Christians believe that helping others is a way to serve God and follow the teaching of God through Jesus Christ. In Christianity, it is love, compassion, and service to others that the Bible emphasizes more. Just as it is written in the book of Mathew 22:233 >"Love your neighbor as you love yourself"

Islam: In Islam, helping others is seen as an act of showing charity (sadaqah) and a way to earn pleasure from God (Allah). The Quran encourages Muslims to always be generous and ready to help the needy and do good deeds.

As for the other religions, I don't know much about them, but I strongly believe every one of us believes in helping others.
