how can we help others?

There are some many way that you can help other people and even more when they lock knowledge. I would say that a person can gain a lot from helping others no because you will recieve something materialistic in return but because you will fell proud of the service that you provide them no nesesarily have to be materialis even with a litter conversation you can help any people in this world.

I belive that people can change themselves if they are clear with why they want the change to occur the change they may be confused as to why they want to change but one can provide more clarityand go dance while you helping them through changing process.
