We're here to help

 While the title of this message has been like a big part of my life and a big part of my philosophy, only yesterday, I, a kind of, became fully aware that this may the main and perhaps only purpose of our life. If we help each other, we feel good. It lifts up our mind, heart and spirit. It puts in an upward spiral. 

 

 Pushing other people down, having our small mean victories, makes us feel good as well, we feel better than the other, but the good feeling lacks the completeness of the feeling we get when helping others. The good feeling after small mean victories is partial and short lasting and in the long run it puts us in a downward spiral. 

 

 We have evolved as humans, from survivors of difficult circumstances, to social beings. We have evolved from lives of struggle to lives of a certain comfort and opportunities to help each other. Every opportunity taken to help, and even graciously accepted help from others, lifts us up. It is the true (and perhaps only) purpose of our life. 

 Let us do it today. Be fully alert for any opportunity to help. Even the opportunity is surrounded by uncertainty, just help a bit, as we feel is right. Let us throw away the fear to be taken advantage of. Enjoy the peace of mind of a helpful soul, a helpful heart, a helpful intelligence.
