Explain How We Should We Help Others Without Expecting Anything In Return
The meaning of quote is how we should all help others without expecting anything in return. For example of this could be to give out money to someone who needs it and pretend that we never had that money. It is also very important that when we give someone something we should not regret it as it was done with good intentions. In a way I can relate to this quote as I had given people money, without expecting anything in return. Such as homeless people, whom are not financially stable and could not pay back. Other example of this could be giving someone our time when they need us, as life isn't just about materialistic things.

    Elie Wiesel's Heroism

    • 990 Words
    • 4 Pages

    A quote that exemplifies this is by Elie Wiesel, who once said, "When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude." Elie Wiesel is a writer, who was put through Auschwitz as a Jew during the Holocaust. He has been given many reasons to give up on humanity, but he chooses not to. Though Wiesel has seen unspeakable things, he still has love to give. A second example of this is human rights activist Malala Yousafzai. She fights for education for all, specifically girls in third world countries. While speaking on anti-discrimination, she said, "There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color, or religion." In today's world, though we like to pretend otherwise, there is a lot of hate centered around those things. People see someone different and instantly separate themselves from that person. They become ignorantly hateful. Malala speaks against that hatefulness, and rejects the idea that people should be treated differently based on those things. A final example is Mattie stepanek, a poet and a peace advocate. He was diagnosed with a rare muscular dystrophy, and only lived to fourteen. A quote of his, speaking about peace, is, "If we simply, but profoundly, choose to make peace an attitude and a habit and a reality, peace is possible." Stepanek is saying that if one acted peacefully, and then others did the same, the world would be filled with peace. Just like Wiesel, Mattie's life had not been kind to him. He had valid reasons to be angry, but through it all he smiled, and imagined a world where everyone could do the…

    Implying this quote thru religion and my own personal experience, as I interpret it means that in our life we think what we have is really valuable. Base on religion it is human nature to think we know what’s good for us but the truth is God knows what’s ”Best” for us. How can he fill up our cup if it’s still full? God knows and want what’s best for us but in order for him to give this to us we must first surrender ourselves completely to him and let him have control of our life. As John chapter 3 verse 16 – 17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” Having said this in my own experience, what I thought was of value was being cool by and going to parties and cutting classes. But these actions had serious consequences that I didn’t think of at that…

    Splitting one’s time, effort, and labor among too many projects at once can cause one to fail at all of them because the projects all require a certain amount of effort which cannot be applied to any of the projects. One should instead attempt a specific few projects within or just outside one’s present skillset in order to solidify and expand one’s talents and skills. The idea that helping all people is impossible can influence many to twist the idea into some sort of detriment of altruism and therefore as a justification for selfish principles. The quote, rather than being a rationale for selfishness and libertarian philosophies, encourages moderation in an individual’s exploits and should impart one with the knowledge that cooperation, rather than individualism, is the only way for people to be successful at overwhelming tasks. Although it is tempting to try to be ambitious in one’s pursuits and have varied interests, a focus on a select few brings the only positive outcome of being able to learn and implement them…

    We are obligated to help even those people who, if saved, would live a wretched life because if you didn’t save them, it could have negative impacts on other people who know that person. For example, say you were walking on a pier and saw a homeless man fall into the ocean and you could hear him yelling “I can’t swim!” You should still save this man’s life because even if he probably won’t have a good future, it’s still a man’s life on the line. Also, if you let the man drown and die, this could negatively affect his homeless friends and family who cared for and loved him, even if they themselves could not help him enjoy a good life. Also, say you are in a poor country and you walk by some starving kids who ask for food. You should give them food because in that moment you will make their lives better, and that will make them happy which will make you feel good about yourself, even if those kids will live a poor life.…
