Indifference and responsiveness

Troubles happen in the life of each of us. But problems can be easily dealt with if there are helpful people nearby, ready to provide support and a helping hand at the right time. Much more difficult is the situation when, in trouble, one has to face human indifference. In this situation, even any trifle can unbalance and ruin the mood for a long time.

Why some people willingly respond to someone else's grief, while others pass by indifferently, is difficult to say. Perhaps it's just that many of them are so carried away by their problems that they do not notice the suffering of others.

Nevertheless, I believe that responsiveness is a very important quality that plays a positive role not only for the person who is being helped, but also for the most caring person. As you know, goodness comes back, which means that at the moment when the assistant himself needs support, he will definitely receive it.

I think every person should develop altruistic feelings. You can start small, such as feeding a kitten on the street or making a bird feeder. The moment the results of your labors become visible, you will understand that the efforts were not in vain.

A satisfied kitten will not be able to express his gratitude in words, but he will tenderly press against his leg and lick your hand, and birds will fly to your window every winter. Is not that great?

It is also always very pleasant to live surrounded by grateful and loving people. But ignoring other people's problems inevitably leads to loneliness. Individuals cold, proud and indifferent are all trying to bypass and not get close to them.

Indeed, getting closer to an indifferent person means dooming yourself to constant suffering. But being close to someone who is able to feel compassion and provide support is real happiness. Which path to prefer, of course, everyone decides for himself, but it seems to me that the choice is quite obvious.
