"We want to help one another. Human beings are like that."

On the last 24hs, I helped different people, in a variety of ways.

A gentleman, not so savvy on social media, computers, etc., starting his business, asked me to help him to create a Facebook page, in order to promote a business that will help not just him, but also his family (including grandchildren).

My nephew, is quite confident of his talent and believe that without talent, you can't make things happen. He mentioned that he diminishes the efforts of his classmates that are training for soccer championships: I warned him that we must never, never, say that someone has no talent, that someone can't do something due to incapacity or anything related. He reflected upon my speech and understood that even Goku (yes, from Dragon Ball anime), as a powerful, strong and gifted warrior, had challenges, and by training and dedication, he got even better, more capable, more strong.

My mother, on her 60's, living emotional challenges on this life stage, missing my presence and the presence of my brothers, and it's my turn, to provide "a therapy session", working together, so she can ease her mind, understanding that we all love her, even though we are busy people.

A great friend of mine, suffered the impact of the current economic scenario that we are all living, being fired from a company where he devoted gigantic efforts. I believe that we both understood that this is just a phase, and that he's a great professional, who got impacted by this unstable economic scenario, where big techs are firing people, but making billionaire acquisitions of A.I. companies, at the same time (funny, isn't it?). He will be working for another great company, soon enough. Meanwhile, he will take his time to explore ideas and knowledge which are quite difficult to explore while working from Monday to Friday.

It came to my knowledge, the work of The Humane Society of the United States, rescuing dogs from farm meats in South Korea. It wouldn't hurt me to donate U$ 10 dollars. I'm no hero for that, for there are other organizations, working for humanitarian and animal causes, but it made me feel good about helping at least one of the causes that I would like to support.

In this world, with so many challenges and obstacles, the least that we can do, is to give a hand to those who need our abilities, capacity, intelligence, patience, and even resources.

As my final words, here I quote a line from the movie "The Great Dictator" (1940), where Charlie Chaplin says:

"We want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery."
