Would you help somebody out?

Post Reply New Topic

Would you help someone out who is in a tough situation in life (cannot sustain him/herself and has a very low income) acquire a skill if it means the person would be able to finish studies or it means the person could get a job and/or become self-sufficient because of the newly acquired skill and not ask anything for it in return?

Say IT-skills, art skills, help with maths or other subjects.

And if the person suffered from ASD, too?

It's personal choice. ASD has nothing to do with it. If you wanted to help a mate out, and help him learn how to draw eyes on a manga character better, so he can pass his art exam, that is personal choice.

Yes, if I had a skill I would be happy to teach it to someone whether they have ASD or not.

In Judaism there are levels of charity - from giving grudgingly at the bottom to helping someone become self sufficient as the highest level. I think that makes a lot of sense. If I had the opportunity to do something like that I would do it gladly. Unfortunately, not many people would find employment via my skills - sewing, knitting, knowledge of Judaism and cats etc.

Generally yes, but it depends on the situation.

It depends on the person. I have tried to help numerous people over the years but most of them didn't do the positive things necessary to make a break for the better. Most of the times I feel frustrated in the end because they wind up right back where they started.

In most situations I love to help if I can. I usally do help if I think I can, one way or another.

Depends on if I liked the person and I had the time and energy to spare.

Sure I would, in most situations. The only way I might not would be if the demands on me were extreme or if this person had done something terrible to me in the past. I'm happy to help anyone I can, and they wouldn't have to have ASD, either.
