James asked in Social SciencePsychology · 1 decade ago

This site is great, but am I helping anyone? Are any of us helping each other?

When we ask questions or answer ones, do we know that we are really helping others..We need to stop for a moment in our lives and pass a good deed forward..

We have lost the good and have forgotten how we got here.

Treat each other how you would be like to be treated..

Help someone you do not know..

How can I help you? How can you help me?

I would like to make a short movie about my ideas...and will need help..

Postitive thinking only

    Sometimes all it takes to help someone is knowing that there is someone else willing to take time to listen to their problems, not necessarily solve them. That they aren't alone in the universe. I enjoy interacting with others on this site and would like to think that what I have to offer may help someone. Good luck on your project and I hope I helped you.

    You know as I a teacher I usually never knew what the impact was going to be on the students I taught. I usually didn't find out until years later , sometimes decades later. It's the same here.

    All we can do is offer seeds of wisdom and the occasional slap upside the head for the ones who think they're smart alleks and post ignorant questions.

    Maybe because yahoo is a site that is indeed global the y&a participants get to see ' other' views than the ones they nornally see.

    James, I do believe we help each other. It is my only reason for coming on, though I cannot every day. (Busy most times!)

    Even when I have a hearty laugh, it is helping to rid me of the other negative stuff which creeps up and brings on stress.

    I understand that some responders are downright nasty and I wish it weren't so, but to a very large degree, it is working,
