Question

Let's consider the ways that others; a) have enhanced us during such times of need and, the counter circumstance, b) may have meant well (such as was true for Job with some of his confidants) but who actually caused greater damage to us in what they offered. What can we learn from our own experiences as we consider our role in helping?

Answer 1

Helping other's in their difficult times or in the time of need is a great thing to do. But what I've learnt from my experience is that while helping others we must keep in mind all the circumstances that person is going through and what really will be beneficial to that person. Just giving them suggestion which we feel are the best or helping a friend with something wrong that he is going to do is just like performing a sin as we are enhancing the troubles of that person. e.g If your friend needs a job and he is from Electronics engineering background and you for the sake of helping him immediately without giving any other thought to it recommended him in your finance company and got him a job there. So, for the sake of helping you helped him find a job but didn't consider that will he be able to cope up with the work, will he be happy working there?
