Helping someone always gives me a deep sense of relief and I believe that whatever goes around comes around and people who are in need of help, if we help them, there might be some situation when we are in need of help. So this works like in a reverse way. So I am a deep believer of this psychology. So there was a situation when I had one of my close friends back in my university days and he was having some family crisis and our final examination was at the end of the month. And then we had to give our examination fee to the controller office but my friend could not manage the money as his family was going through some difficulties. So I asked my parents for some extra money and I landed him that money so that he can enroll for his examination. At first he was becoming very hesitant to receive money from me but I insisted that you can keep that now and whenever you are okay with your situation and can manage the money you can give me back. So after these conditions he was convinced and agreed to receive the money from me and in that time of the crisis I had my friend and his eyes were full of tears because he did not expected something from me. And by seeing how he felt relieved I also felt immense joy that I could be help of someone.

Helping someone always gives me a deep sense of relief, and I believe that whatever goes around comes around. People who are in need of help, if we assist them, there might be a situation when we are in need of help ourselves. So this works in a reverse way. I am a deep believer in this psychology. There was a situation when I had one of my close friends back in my university days. He was experiencing a family crisis, and our final examination was at the end of the month. We had to pay our examination fee to the controller's office, but my friend could not manage the money as his family was going through some difficulties. I asked my parents for some extra money and lent it to him so that he could enroll for his examination. At first, he was very hesitant to accept money from me, but I insisted that he could keep it now, and whenever he was okay with his situation and could manage the money, he could pay me back. After these conditions, he was convinced and agreed to accept the money. During that time of crisis, I saw my friend, and his eyes were full of tears because he did not expect something like this from me. Seeing how relieved he felt brought me immense joy, knowing that I could be of help to someone.
