Is Helping Enough?

No. Helping is not enough. Nor is the desire to help someone ever sufficient basis for contentment. If you want to truly help someone, you must bear in mind the following:

1. The form of your aid will ultimately influence its result. Unwanted help or unwelcome help is no help at all in the end.

2. Is your help long-term? Must it be? If so, is your help sustainable?

3. Is your "help" actually helpful, or will it turn that someone into someone dependent on you? If so, your help is not very efficient and may not be any help at all.

Helping someone is a worthy thing, but we must first understand what true help is.
