Very true here, at any moment, it's always important to extend a helping hand to people, but only as far as our hands can go.
Also, there are so many little actions we do, that will have such a great effect on others, we might do it out of our normal course but it will be a reason for someone to keep going. Some people smile all day, and someone is looking for who to smile at them. So the little things matter.
