How often you help strangers or how often you lend a helping hand ? well if you ask me I don't really help a lot of them.
Before I begin let me tell you a small story my elder brother told me last night -
Once upon a time their was a great saint . He was famous and respected for helping others . He owned a beautiful white horse . One day a thief came by and came to know about this saint and his beautiful horse . He planned to steal the horse . The thief dressed like a poor man and started behaving as if he was physically challenged , as the saint passed riding his horse he asked for help , saint without any hesitation came near to help him , suddenly the thief drew his sword hidden in his rags , the saint remained calm , thief jumped on the horse and said "I am taking your horse fool" . As the thief was leaving saint said "take the horse but don't tell anyone that you fooled me by acting like someone in need ". The thief was puzzled and asked why so , Saint said "People will stop helping people in need" .Well the saint's concern was right , as the fraud people started looting people by acting like needy person , people slowly stopped helping , so you got my point ? People now a days don't help others not because they are cold hearted but because they don't trust strangers anymore , they are afraid that the person in need may turn into someone else .
But every needy person is not a fraud , but on the same time he could be a fraud, so I'll say , stay cautious but not an ignorant and try to LEND A HELPING HAND whenever you can .
