A beautiful life also often gives a big surprise. Suddenly throwing you into the sky. Let you enjoy altitude while anesthetizing with the aroma of praise but imprisoning the soul at many lavish parties.
It might also be like torturing constantly. Derail. Pulling the foot under the waves. Making you like drowning in the sea during a storm, we haven’t even had the chance to push our nose to the surface when new waves have come over again! Submerge you in sincerity but at the same time awareness, that matter is just an illusion.
But the life that loves you always reaches out to you. Both, whether to help you get down from a height or lift you up to the surface. To save you if you want.

This article is based on my conversation with Doc Andersen who asked me to continue my sentence below – which he considered poetry – when he pulled and helped me out of the waves.
“That’s like drowning in the sea during a storm, we haven’t even had the chance to push our nose to the surface when new waves have come over!”
One of his impressive thoughts is, “I wonder sometimes if we don’t help enough…” which I replied with “People like you must provide help more than enough, for it comes from character. Beyond that, things about help do have many mysteries like the iceberg phenomenon too”.

I really like to help others, but I forget about myself which is not always good
Sometimes our caring and sympathy often prioritize the interests of others rather than ourselves. It is a great character, even though it can mean that we have to tighten the belt.
I agree … sometimes I would like to change a bit, but it does not go … this is my character
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Vidocka.
I love to help people. It makes me feel good. Always lend a helping hand..
My antenna captures the signal of truth in your words, Kim. I am so proud of you!
Thank you. I know how I feel when someone lends a helping hand so to speak. I try.. 🙂
I am a witness to your kindness.
And just about everyone here is a witness to yours including me.
Are you taking revenge?
lol
First, I recognize the line used, so beautiful and you’ve taken it from a comment to a post so beautifully.
Can we, I would ask ever do enough? I watch the news sometimes or read the news at other times and i know there is ever enough. We cannot be happy with what we have done, there is more to do!
But we also have to know that sometimes our best is good enough.
First, I wrote this post upon your inspiration.
We all know that helping is good, but we also know that goodness has many faces as well as its twin brothers. So, let’s be happy always with everything we have done fully with sincerity. After all, as long as attitudes and helping actions come from genuine characters, we must thank them.
I love it, you fulfilled the promise Albert. 🙂
…bit late c?z I had to make the illustration picture first.
I’ll start from myself… even if it means selfish.
If I can’t help myself, I won’t extend that much out to help others.
And I don’t believe I’ll have that ability and enough understanding.
But I still try my best with small things that I can do, within my abilities.
Helping yourself has a very broad meaning, and how we might help others if we ourselves are not helped.
It’s complicated I guess … sometimes help is not one way …
That’s true. That’s why I always said that help as kindness is like an iceberg phenomenon, besides have a twin brother and both full of mystery. But still, it must not ignore the importance of helping, whether receiving or giving or both at once.
i always hope that I can help someone.
But you already helped me a lot!
I always try to help someone who is need of assistance since the law of giving always rewards the giver in due time.
Your enthusiasm to help is huge!
It is one thing that win or lose, I realize I gave my best.
Your pov has multi-dimensions, and that’s interesting! Let me ask for confirmation, what is the reason you say “win or lose” in this case?
If someone appreciates what I do for them or they just ignore what I did as a favor for them.
Oh, I understand. Are you so affected or disturbed by that?
Not really since I need to be build patience in life.
I am very relieved to hear that explanation!
Thank you for your kind comments.
I feel like I can never do enough for others. I know how it feels to go through life struggles and pain and want to help others so they don’t have the same experience.
I am right there with you; even when I do all I can, I still can’t do enough…
Even someone suspected or vilified as a vampire instead has a very noble heart, like an angel.
and there are some who wear the guise of an angel to further their evil agenda. That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain—
Are you insinuating me? Are you insinuating me?
Because I have all those characteristics
Feeling never do enough for others is a feeling that comes from a special compassion character.
Whoever heard of an empathetic vampire?
I don’t believe in the g?ssip and slander, you better be too.
That thought is helpful already, Carol!
Carol is a friend I’m proud of. Do you know her too?
I have the feeling that I could do more for myself and for others dear friend
That is a good balance, dear friend.
Yes, I really feel useful enough to help the drivers in different directions.
You are very humble, Ellenka. However, no matter how small a help is, you have taken the act of giving and receiving.
