If there's one thing I believe in very strongly, it has got to be Karma.
Somehow, everything is a cycle and somehow everything eventually comes back to you. The good, the bad and the ugly, what goes around, will sooner or later, come around as well.
People always question me as to why I help others so much. Sometimes even going out of my own way to make sure people around me are happy. Well, fact is, if I am doing something for someone, that person means something to me. And if I am going out of my way to help a person, that person means a lot to me and when I help these people and I see them happy. I in turn, feel happy too. Sure, I lost a few brownie points in the responsibility section in everyone's eyes. But that is not what counts. What matters more is that there is a person who is now happier, because of me. I don't do it for the credit, I do it for the satisfaction. For there may be a 1000 reasons for a person to be upset, but there exist a million ways he can make himself happy. And if I have, even to the extent of a fraction, made someone think the same way, I am proud of myself. At first it sounds ludicrous, seeking happiness in the happiness of others. But think about it, when the person who means the world to you feels happy, you have a reason to smile as well. Moreover, you have a bigger reason to be happy because you effected that happiness. Life has taught all of us many lessons, but none may be as important as 'offering a helping hand'. As far as helping people who don't deserve it goes, it doesn't really matter. As long as your conscience is pure and you have no ulterior motive, you will never expect anything in return as well. For the very joy of helping someone is enough to keep you satisfied. Anything returned is a bonus. So help, as much as your heart, mind and soul allow you to. For you extend one hand to help today, a thousand will be extended when you need it tomorrow.
