“I’ll Scratch Your Back, If You Scratch Mine”

Humans are “Social Animals”,
Why then do we find it so hard to help each other?
Or what is worse, to accept help from each other?
We are so often hard headed about
Stupid things,
We let our pride stop us from helping or
From being helped.
We think it is a ‘sign of weakness’.
How crazy is that?
We are social animals,
We are here to be with each other
Through times of plenty, and especially
Times of stress, despair
And hardship.
That is when we are at our best, our strongest.

Let your goodness shine,
Help your friends and family, but
Even more importantly,
Help the strangers you cross paths
With as you go about your day.
Love knows no bounds,
So why try and limit it to those who love you?
Sure,
“I’ll scratch your back, if you scratch mine”,
But
Why not scratch the back of someone who
Can’t do a thing to repay you for it?
I can tell you,
There is no better feeling
Than that.
