Jan 24 2008 inspiration

Giving frees us
from the familiar territory of our own needs
by opening our mind
to the unexplained worlds
occupied
by the needs of others.

~Anne Frank

remembering we are all here to help one another can ease the pressure of having to perform for ourselves. step outside yourself.
have a wonderful day!!!

What about the saying," CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME." This doesn't mean that you should not help others in need.
When you give, you feel a sense of great satisfaction that you have helped a fellow human being in distress.
But how do you find out whether the person you want to help really needs it or not? I have seen a person walking around the streets of KOCHI with a medical prescription saying that he needs money to buy medicines. Once I gave him money. The beauty is I saw this man doing this on a daily basis in different parts of the city. Once I asked him why he is doing this. He got frightened and almost ran away. I hope you can enlighten me on this.
Best wishes for a wonderful day.
