Humans are social beings, and we need to depend on others for various purposes, and that's why we need the help of others in various kinds of situations. For the sake of humanity, helping others is one kind of responsibility, and we should try to do it if that doesn't bring any kind of loss to us.
I don't think I am a helpful person all the time, but I try to help others whenever I get any opportunity, but I must ensure that it does not hamper me. I believe that sacrificing something for helping others is not worthy unless it's for a bigger purpose. You can call me selfish for that kind of thought, but I think it's the reality, and I think practical most of the time.
Humans are known as the best creatures, and they are the worst creatures also. Every human is not the same, but some human action hurts us a lot. There are some humans who are supposed to show gratitude for receiving help, but they almost do the opposite, and that kind of person insists not to help others because it's a kind of fear of betrayal also. I am going to share one incident related to it.
It's the incident from some years ago, and at that time I was not self-dependent. I used to take my pocket money from my parents. Because of my habit of saving, I was able to save a little amount of money. One day one of my close friends needed money instantly for a specific and important reason, and he asked me for money as he couldn't arrange all the money instantly. Without thinking twice, I gave him my savings because I tried to help him, and he promised to return the money after a week.
One month passed and he didn't return the money, and I asked him about it. He promised me to return it as early as possible. But one month converted into two months, but I didn't receive the money. And in that time I needed that money badly for personal reason, and I directly asked him for my money. I asked for the money several times in that week. He didn't return the money. I was feeling very shy to ask for my own money from him because I asked him several times for it. It was the time I wasn't able to use my own money when I needed it, and it was very painful to me. And that friend treated me like a beggar. I think it was worse than it because he played with my emotions, also by giving the hope he would return my money within a few hours. I felt humiliated, and I think I won't be able to forget about the humiliation anytime.
For keeping the friendship, I never asked him for the money again, and he also never had the intention to return the money. He is still like my friend, but in my heart he lost the position as a friend. I had the opportunity to humiliate him in front of other friends, but I never did it because I would get nothing by doing it except making him my enemy.
Life can give us many opportunities, and the same thing repeats many times, and I know someday he will need my help again and strongly believe it. And in that time I will refuse him for sure. Maybe I won't help him even if he dies. I am very cruel to them who choose to betray me. You can think it's revenge, but I think it's the result of his first betrayal. Does it mean I don't help others? Obviously not. I try to help others when they need my help. But I try to know their character well before providing any kind of financial help because now I don't trust anyone easily when it comes to finance.
More than 10 years have passed since that incident, but I am yet to forgive him, and I won't forget him anytime unless nature or situation takes revenge from him.
