All truth be told, one of the most iffy things one will ever do is solicit help from others. Genuine/authentic people will see a need and help.

'Crabs in the bucket' will see you in need; and, capitalize on it to keep you pulled down.

Strong people, who never ask for help, are at their most vulnerable in their time of need.

Few things are more eye opening than being in a time of need.

I am a staunch believer that you can never really know who your 'friends' are until the time of need.

People who are there in your darkest hour to lift you up in prayer and help you stand are the rarest of gems; and, should never be taken for granted; for they are few and far between.

Best regards.

Peace.
