Helping others
Helping others is frequently identified as the purpose or result of someone without increasing the
well being expecting financial gain in return. Thus, the term "helping others" suggests that to
help others can refer to both well-intentioned acts that succeed in increasing the well-being of
another person and courteous behaviors that miss to achieve their purpose (Schultz, n.d.). There
is some evidence to show that helping others may lead to improvements in the brain associated
with happiness. This increased sense of well-being might be attributed to being more physically
active because of volunteering, or it could be due to the fact that it increases our social activity
(10 benefits of helping others, 2020).
Everyone could benefit from a little help now and then, but some individuals require a bit more
help than others. For example, persons who are homeless, whose houses have been ruined by an
unforeseen event, or refugees who have fled their homes due to severe hunger, war, or other
kinds of violence may benefit greatly from stuff such as money, food, or clothing (Schultz, n.d.).
Helping those around you, especially those who are less fortunate than you, might help you put
things in comparison and feel better about your own situation (10 benefits of helping others,
2020).
We are aware that showing kindness to others deepens our relationships with them and serves as
a source of support. According to research, we could gain more from offering help than from
getting it, and we also have a higher chance of receiving help ourselves in the future. While it
might not be from the same person or group or even be support for like, showing kindness to
others creates a larger support system that improves wellness overall (Do things for Others, n.d.).
Two things you could get by your good works are respect and trust. They are not something that
can be easily bestow to someone. One method to gain respect and trust is to help others. People
are going to be more likely to trust someone they know is generous and able to help when they
need it. People will also respect someone who is able to display this behavior. Just keep in mind
that assisting others isn't the only way to earn their respect and trust. When you truly want to
help people, these things will come to you naturally (MorningCoach, 2022).
Activity
In Pakistan, because of inflation it is getting really difficult for the people to buy even everyday
items. As most of the population of Pakistan is living under poverty line, they face difficulty to
meet their ends. As a responsible citizen, we should help these people as much as we can. Even a
small contribution can make a huge difference.
In Pakistan, different NGO’s are working to help the needy ones. People contribute through
Zakat and khirat to these organizations. It is our moral duty to help those round us. Our religion
also teaches us to help the people around us who are struggling. In Pakistan and other Muslim
countries, through Zakat and khirat government finances the project to aid the people and also
provides them subsidies.
Keeping in view the learnings of the subject “Civics”, our instructor gave us an activity to help
the poor. For the activity, the packet of daal and ghee were given to a poor woman. Keeping in
view the privacy and ethics , the woman face has been hidden with a sticker.
Through this activity, I went to a women’s house in village and helped her. By helping her, I felt
happiness. She is single divorced parent who is parenting her children alone and is very much
worried about the expenses as the inflation is growing at much faster rate. She told me that she
works even on Sundays to meet the ends. But due to raising inflation , its getting really difficult
for her to raise her children.
