paying it forward

help. ayuda. tabang. tasukete. socorro.

no matter how it is said, once extended makes both the giver and the receiver feel good.
at one point in our lives,  we have been at either ends. and while it feels good when someone does come forward to help you out, it is infinitely better to be at the giving end.

helping out is inherent to man.
while some may have been burnt for having been taken advantage of or by becoming victims of scams and other shenanigans, seeing other people go through difficult times still tugs at the heart of any common man.

as my father often reminded me - we do not help so we can get help later. we help because we can.

and let's not turn our eyes and hearts away from those in need.
as is commonly said, it is better to give than to receive.
