"You should already know how to do this." "Figure it out yourself." "Look it up."

These are all things I have been told throughout my life when I needed help and it has got to stop. There is a major difference from helping someone to telling them to figure it out their own with no clue where to go. If you do not have to expertise to help them, then politely tell them that instead of making them feel like they are stupid.

I write tons of articles about being nice to other people and yet people continue to be rude. Why is it in our culture that being rude is accepted? All it does is create hostility and show people that they are not good enough.

If someone asks you for your help nicely, help them. Yes, there are people who demand help but this is not about them. This is about the people who generally care and politely ask for help.

Humans need to learn to be more compassionate. I am tired of people saying someone can be too "sensitive." That is absolutely not true. Everyone is a unique individual who is allowed to express their emotions however they would like... as long as it does not involve being rude to others.

Helping people can benefit both parties. Both people can learn a thing or two and it ends in a positive outcome. Refusing to help someone does not benefit anybody except maybe your negative ego.

So just help people. It does not cause you any harm. Instead, it results in good and happiness. That is what the world needs to strive for instead of all the negatively that goes around. Helping is a good thing.

Being someone people want to ask help for is the person everyone should want to be.
