Helping someone is a very noble thing to do and a act of kindness. I strongly believe that we should keep helping others in whatever capacity we can. If we have something of more then why not share it. Even if we do not have it more and whatever we have from that if we can give some part of it is also very thoughtful. It is said the best act of kindness is when you plate is not completely full and yet you share from it with whatever it there.
These are acts that every human should imbibe in their lives, but today I want to talk about it in a little different manner. The person who helps always does it with a good intention and kindness, and the person who receives it should feel grateful about it. When someone helps us it is not their responsibility to do so. They do it with love and affection. There are times that the receiver take it for granted the help they receive. If the help is constant then they also start assuming that it is their right to receive it.
I have come across many such people, who criticize the donor who has been continuously helping them and then stopped helping for whatever reason. I do get annoyed with such type of people. If they stopped receiving help then there must be some reason for the opposite person and that needs to be respected and not criticized. Taking anyone granted for whatever they are doing for you is not the right attitude. The receiver should not feel offended if the help stops.
Let's take a classic example of relationships. We help people around us in many ways, it's just not about donation and all. In a family, say one person is constantly doing something for others which is not the person's responsibility but still does it. Now when he or she stops doing that then other members of the house may not find it very comfortable, because doing it regularly have started making everyone believe that this is the person's responsibility.
One of my old uncle has this habit. He is old and fragile and receives help from multiple sources and sometimes when someone in particular does not help him, he starts grumbling about the person. Hence now people feel hesitant to help him. They feel bad for him but still do not want to help him because he takes it for granted their help and then his expectations are never ending.
Helping is an act of kindness and acknowledging it is an act of gratitude. Both of them have to go hand in hand.
