I have a question for each and everyone of you on my blog. We all are from different cultures and we all have our own ways of life. Some have things in which they have a passion for and some needless to say live in a world of denial of what surrounds them.
Some people do care with regards to certain things other than just themselves. I think it does take a certain type of person.
Are there people out there that have in life done deeds for other people family and or friends? Yeah...
Sorry I did not make the full post but some are naturally good Samaritan and some are not. Some will walk past a person and some will actually stop and take action < example...
''I have a question for each and everyone of you''
ReplyDeleteOK...............what was the question again??
That is the question within in there if you refresh the site...
ReplyDeleteSo the question is regarding whether we have done kind acts for family and friends? I would surely hope so. I know I have, I do, constantly.
ReplyDeletesome will never be good Samaritans
ReplyDeletesome always will be
most of us will judge the situation and make a decisions whether to help or not, or whether it is within our ability to help
Good question and I am pondering it ......
Yes, it starts within the family and those closely surrounding us and has a ripple effect...as each one reaches out in kindness. Little things mean a lot too. Even a smile or a kind word. I used to be a waitress long ago when I first got married. The work was hard sometimes but it had it's rewards. I was really shy starting out there being a quiet person but I got to really enjoying some of the people that would come in as regulars . There were mean spirited people but also nice ones. One day I received a compliment from someone that I was the most pleasant waitress there. I thought WOW! Anyways I am SURE I wasn't always the most pleasant everyone has their days but after that it seemed I made more of an effort to be. That's a simple compliment but it made me think and now so many years later I still remember and I try to be patient and nice to the waiters and waitresses..
ReplyDeleteHave a great night!
So true Karyn and some will not that is a fact of life...As time goes on I think we are becoming more of an "I" society.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect it starts within oneself Cheryl - I feel.
ReplyDeleteYeah good things one has done for someone else Danni. And kudos to you.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of those closest to me being whom I reach out to with kindness . Much like the old saying "Charity begins at home"
ReplyDeleteGood deed come in all sizes, shapes and forms from a smile and a hello to saving a life. It isn't something I wonder or worry about or question. I do things for people they never even know about. I think most people do.
ReplyDeleteReach out to first I mean..and being a Mom and Grandma I hope to have taught my children well.
ReplyDeleteBy all means I know what you mean I am thinking on a write as Cheryl with all do respect as a friend I know what you meant in a good manner that is...
ReplyDeleteThere it is, but Wren I have as well not online but it's gratifying to do something without someone knowing it. I think there is something to that.
ReplyDeleteI think some do and some don't but I look at the betterment of things Wren.
Cherly, I should have taken more time with this as I understand where your coming from. I do...
ReplyDeleteI think you know the answer to that about me. I have a hard time understanding people who are self-absorbed and have no compassion for others.
ReplyDeleteYes I do Cal...
ReplyDeleteYes I do all the time for me it is the way-to help and do kind things even if it is only a smile and a hello but in our society to many people just walk past.
ReplyDeleteSame here and I just thought I would touch on this subject as it seemed to be the right time in doing so...
ReplyDeleteI see no reason not to help someone... I've even offered to when not asked, and times that I will just do, and not ask if they need or want help... If they back me down, then I will stop, but I will try to help anyone who needs it, if it's within me...
ReplyDeletePeeks you seemed to always be that type of person within life.
ReplyDeleteI have never talked to you but it's very easy to see that from what you write and so forth.
many , many times i have been their for people and am always their for everyone , my door is always open .Rosie
ReplyDeleteI try, Jack,but never enough. When one helps another I think you really help yourself---there we are hard-wired to do that and suffer when egotism or bad times or moods make one selfish.
ReplyDeleteI think people are drawn to certain professions because of their tendency to help others, not so much out of self interest, but just because that's who they are.
ReplyDeleteNo comment...
ReplyDeleteYes I believe that and I do believe in the creative element. Doug we help ourselves only in doing what we need to do. Within all of that it's apptitude and attitude. The way we think and regard thins is really was defines our outlook.
ReplyDeleteMine is too but I do like my own steak and cheescake as well Rosie - Smiling as this got very serious and I wish for it not to be as I am not that "Man looking in the Mirror" yet I now after writing it I think we all are people that will now and then question our ethics - I am not talking religion but I am talking within values.
ReplyDeleteHow did McCartney put it "lead me to your door".....:)
I think what kind of person you are all depends on how you were raised. Generally, humble people will reach out to others. One just has to be careful though not to sacrifice self to an extreme. If we do that regularly, there will be nothing left for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteSelf enquiry is always good!
ReplyDeleteYes so true Jenna.
ReplyDeleteSelf inquire is always good and to understand one's own placement is the real realm of what life is - as I see it.
ReplyDeleteBut in just getting out of a storm sometimes it comes but then again it alway does. Weather is a good example. :
