"No man is an island". A very famous saying that applies to everybody.
We have a family who helped us from the time we where born until we, their children decide to stand on our own. But even if we live away from them, we still can count on them whenever we experience troubles in life. I know this doesn't apply to all parents (based on experience).
We have friends whom we share our happy and sad moments in life. Most often we share our secrets with them. This applies of course to our true friends. Friends in times of good and bad. We can't deny the fact that we have friends that I often call "leech". These are the friends who just come along with us when they need something: I am specially talking of material things here.
We often give help to our family and friends when they need us. Sometimes, we do things that we shouldn't be doing just to help them. For example: When our family or friends need money badly and we are not capable of lending them, we borrow from others so we can help. I know this is not a bad thing but we also have to consider the situation. And our family or friends should also try to understand. I always say, how can you help a drowning person if you yourself is drowning? Simple, help yourself first before you help others. In this way, you might give help in a better and bigger way.
One thing that irritates me the most is when a person is asking for a help and yet you are aware that he or she is not determined enough to help himself or herself. If you are in my situation, would you still help? I also experience obstacles in life but I try to solve them myself until I can. Why is it so hard to let them understand this? Why do they always cling on someone who can't help them and they are even aware of it? Can't they instill in their minds that "POVERTY IS NOT A HINDRANCE TO SUCCESS?"

I guess sometimes people just rely on others too much. Sure sometimes it can be other people's faults too because they encouraged them to do so but at the end of the day, you have nothing to blame but yourself. If you want to be a better person and if you want to be in a better life then work hard for it. I am sure the other people that you envy worked hard for theirs as well. I don't agree that poverty is a hindrance to success in fact I think of it more as an inspiration to be more motivated and to have the strong drive to get what you want. What is wrong about that? Nothing. Doing something is better than just doing nothing.
You are right best! I just hate it when those people who are asking for your help feel contented of it. Are they also thinking that this person is even having two jobs just to fill in the blanks? I think they are not. They even have the guts of going on a party and yet the person who is helping them doesn't have time for that. What the heck! It just triggers me to do things I shouldn't be doing.
