I was speaking to two people yesterday and they agreed that it all boils down to compassion and helping others.

I added that it’s also a choice. One can choose to help others or not. One can choose to give to others in need or not. Especially if you have extra. What did you lose? Someone might say, I worked hard for that. I would respond, you’re right. I would also add that you have the choice to keep it all to yourself. Just remember, if you or someone you love are in the exact same situation and you asked for help from someone who had extra to give, you would hope they would find it in their hearts to show you compassion as well. So pray that you never fall on hard times. You better always be up.

For the record, depending on someone for your every day needs is different from receiving help in a time of need. If you’ve never been down on your luck, consider yourself extremely blessed.
