Helping; An Addiction
Hello Readers,
There are few things going on my mind from few days. And it
is true that whenever you have something in your head you can not rest
peacefully. When you read the title you must find it is weird or an absurd because helping someone is consider as great deed but i think differently. and as a responsible person we must think from both of the perspectives.
When i was randomly thinking, i realized that helping someone is not always good. Helping can also become an addiction. There are main
two types of addictions: Good and bad
Have you ever thought that helping someone can also become
and addiction? Yes, that’s truth. Once you start helping someone, you
will become an addicted person.
I know its difficult
to understand so lets see it with an example. When you help someone during
examination and see the smile on that person will make you happy and you will
inspire to help them again and again. That person will expect you to help them again and again. And when you can fulfill their expectation they will hurt you. Now think about it. You have helped them with good intention but they will become lethargic because they know that you will be there for them.
And just like other addiction i.e. drinking, smoking etc helping is also
bad (not for you but for others), Karana is very famous figure in Hindu
culture who has donated everything and even when he has given weapon to his
mother which has lead him towards his death. Here his helping nature has become
his weapon of death. He could refuse his mother but he has not done that because it was his nature or might be an addiction.
Helping others is good but let not make it an addiction. Because in Gujarati says દયા ડાકણ ને ખાય. Thank you for reading and do not forget to share your views.
Yes Sharing is caring. I have this kind of addiction to help other. Well expressed.
ReplyDeleteyeas i do agree with ur blog helping;an addiction.
ReplyDeletesmtimes we r so addicted to help that we r blind to dark realities which our help can cause.
for an example we often come across with beggers on footpath and many such places. we help them by offering food or money.
there is no evil intention in our help but indirectly we are influencing them to beg more instead of earn more.
we r making them confident that their needs vll b fulfilled by opl like us and thus they do nothing except begging.Hence we influence an unemployment too.
That's true
