Dearest Sukkot, cheesy

I have some questions for you:
Why do you feel you have the right to (help) be kind to others, but when they try to return the kindness, you deny them that opportunity?

Also, why do you think of someone trying to help you of their own freewill as you "using" them?
Do you forbid help?
If so, why then do you help people?
If not, why do you not allow them help you?
(Do you know that it makes some people uncomfortable accepting help they need, without giving something back?)

Don't you think you're taking advantage of (by helping) them, since you seem to know things that those you help don't know?
Have you thought about that?

It's almost like someone doing saraa , but the people receiving the saraa don't know that there's a reason behind the saraa .

I await the answers to the above questions. 😌
Mariah these are all solid questions . And I appreciate solid well thought out questions. Now obviously I am going to answer this in many parts so as not to write a long novel lol. I believe the first part of the response , I would quote the response I gave armyofone . Basically the gist of that response is that I do not accept unsolicited help from people lower than me on the foodchain . I will try to insert that post here

hell yeah you are right on the money lmao. Unsolicited help is an emotional trap that someone is setting for you . Once you step into that trap you have to pay up one way or the other. If you refuse to pay up , you have created an enemy unknowingly and you better hope the person is somewhat civilised or has boundaries or else your life may be in danger. So I try not to fall into these emotional traps that people throw your way. This is spiritual wisdom as well as one of the laws of power. Never ever get indebted to people lower than you on the food chain . If you are going to accept help make sure it's from someone way higher than you on the foodchain because you know they don't want anything from you. Anyone lower on the foodchain ? We are transacting , I don't need your help. I need my car washed, how much should I give you to do it for me ? You collect your money and wash the car and we are even. No emotional guilt ties, strictly transactions. If your job is a security man, that job description does not include washing my car so don't attempt to put me in an emotional guilt trap by unsolicitedly washing my car. I don't fall for such cheap tricks. We are keeping it strictly professional and we transact if I need you to do other things . No free services in this world oooo , do not be deceived. All the favors they are doing for you they are clocking it in their head and watching you to see if you will reciprocate. And so I don't have time for these games. Anyway that explains why I do what I do. I don't accept unsolicited help from people lower than me on the foodchain cuz it's not genuine help. It's a trap

and why do I deny people the opportunity to be kind to me ? I don't but you have to be in three of these categories before I can accept your kindness, if not I would advice you to go give it as charity to someone else . The three categories are

1- my family members
2- someone who has lived abroad for many years and has allowed civilisation to take root in them. Like I can assess you and see you are a wise and civilised and intelligent cosmopolitan and a very good kind person.
3- someone higher than me on the foodchain

I would gladly accept help from these three categories. Anybody else ? I would advise you to bless somebody else with whatever help you want to bless me with grin

so why do I consider people helping me as me using them ? Well unless they are higher than me on the social ladder, are they genuinely helping me ? It's all a game of trap and me I don't have time for those types of games. The human Heart can be devious. I approach every stranger with a healthy dose of caution

Why do I help people ? I am creating a better afterlife for myself by helping not because I particularly care for the people I help because I strongly believe and know that whatever condition you find yourself in is of your own doing from this or past life. No coincidences. You are pAying for your karma . So it's not like I particularly care for these people but I pity the situation they have created for themselves and yes I use their situation to get myself good karma by helping a little . You can call it selfish or self serving but I see it as building good karma and yes it is a form of Sara and you can say I am taking advantage of them but we are mutually benefitting from the situation. It's a win win . Nobody loses. But I have to see the genuine smile on your face after offering the help and I have to admit it gives me satisfaction seeing them eat the food especially all those little cute Hausa children you see on the road in the hot sun running after cars . grin life is tough

I used to work in a bank and at month ends, accounts and transaction fees are charged. We have an instruction to reverse fees ONLY if the customers asked for it. Most rich people will 100% of the time ask for a reversal of the smallest amount and lots of the poor people never ask for their money back.

I have seen up to $180 reversible charges in transaction fees in a poor person's account and could have been reversed if they had asked for it but, guess what, they are either too proud, shy or ignorant to ask.

The distinction between being rich and poor goes deep into mentality and build up of individuals.

If you give 20million dollars each to all the young people today aged 20 years, in 25 years, the rich will still be rich and the poor would have squandered the 20 million dollars and still remain poor.

I give to people that are really in need; the motherless babies home, orphanage homes and the likes of that.
The Difference Between Poverty & Richness is "Mindsets, Mentality & Maturities"

The Difference Between Mindsets, Mentality & Maturities is Simply "Intentions" !

To Become Whatever You Wanna Become:
"Intentions, Mindsets, Mentality & Maturities Must All Work in Sync .. !

The Area of Lacuna is Your Weaknesses!

If you don't accept unsolicited help, then why do you give it?
Do you feel you have the right to?

If you can't accept unsolicited help, then maybe you shouldn't give unsolicited help.

You do now realize that giving continuous unsolicited help ruins gratitude, don't you?

Continuous giving of unsolicited help could also be a "trap" in some way - like a commitment you have to keep up without complaining.

The way I look at life; if you can't accept something from me, don't give me anything.
That is why I'm hardly impressed by what people possess.

A man's life should not be measured by the things he possess.
Anybody can help anybody in any way.
Talking someone out of depression/suicide is also help, you know?
Referring someone to some information that can save their life is help too.

You also, are you genuinely helping them, especially if they didn't ask for your help? I think not. cheesy

Also, I think the need has to be genuine and asked for, for the help given to account to you.

That's not true, Iya mi.
Majority of Nigerians are good, selfless and generous people.
When Nigerians support, they go all out.
There have been several instances that have made me so proud to identify as a Nigerian.

Take for example our Hilda that is about to break the world record; the love and support for her by Nigerians have been so overwhelming.
Nigerians are good people.

well to be perfectly honest with you it's people on the streets who ask that I give. This particular situation with the guy was just an aberration . But even at that I don't think it only counts when you give only after you are asked. Now that's your theory lmao . The Mariah theory of giving

well I am never in the habit of giving unsolicited help. This was a one off involving someone I have to see everyday and only because he came to me and said he was hungry and had no food . So I figured he is new on the job and doesn't have money to eat. Let me help him out till he gets his salary but trust and believe I am not in the habit of giving unsolicited help. And even when it is solicited it is still Saraa to the universe , is how I see it anyway lol
