Galina T. (ESE) - On Helping Others

If there is no one for me to help, I don’t know what the point of living is.

And whatever I do in life, the most important part of it is giving. Taking for myself? I just don't feel any inner joy in that. Living for others—now that is true happiness! I completely dissolve in the joy of caring for people. Sometimes I can feel that my care is weighing someone down or getting in their way, and I make a conscious effort to step back.

Seeing that I can help and choosing not to is very hard for me.
