Help or Business?
Whether we like it or not, there come moments in everyone’s life when we need help. It could be emotional support, financial assistance, borrowed tools, etc. Whatever we might need at the moment, which we can’t provide for ourselves or our family, can push many of us into a deep pit. Why is that?
Firstly, it’s because in today’s Western society, isolated groups of people try to grapple with life’s challenges instead of organizing in larger communities. We no longer live in tribes where a whole team of adults, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents raised the young ones, helped build houses, or provided food if the immediate family ran out. We live in small families, often consisting of three, four, or five members. Yet, in such a family, there are usually only two adults, and life often exceeds the competencies of even two people. Anyone who denies this certainly needs some serious self-awareness work.
