The type of help

I watched this show and this sparked the idea of this post. "we always ask for help from others but we aren't even capable of helping in return?" sounds familiar? How many times had you asked someone for help? Did they help you? If they did, did they ask for something in return? Did you even help them when they are in need? I asked myself this and most of the time if someone helped me I try my best to help them with the best I can because I was thought to give back blessings, and helping to me comes naturally in my personality. 

We always ask for help but why when that person needs our help the most we can't seem to give them the help they deserve. Are we greedy? Or are we just not feeling like Mr. nice guy trying to keep a pure reputation and intention. Before we ask for help did we even ask ourselves a question like "oh thank god this person helped me, but does this person need help in return? Would this person ask for something in return? We never thought about that person's feeling and what situation they are in.

For example, in the same show the kid was complaining that he is in a pinch because he has a lot of homework after being absent for a long time. His teacher asked his classmate who was really smart to help him pick up the pace from when he was absent. The student agreed but in actuality he didn't want to because he has other problems. The kid talking to the priest said that he was greedy and that he has other problems too. The priest said that they were the same, he can't help him because he has problems to take care of, and if he wants help then he has to help him so he in return can help him. 

To put it short "how can you accept help from others when you yourself isn't ready to help in return." things aren't always free in life. You can't always expect people to help you, we have other things to attend to and that's just that. Compromise and understanding plays a huge role don't forget that!
