Helping others
Useful to them and to oneself
How good it would be if everybody knew how the laws of destiny worked and understood why certain misfortunes happened to them and to others, yet still persevered in the desire to help. Some people might say, ‘Why should I help them when they are only getting what they deserve?’ First of all, because the efforts you make in trying to help others are never wasted; in certain circumstances, heaven will relent when it sees your sincerity. In the second place, your efforts are also of use to you, to progress. By helping others, you develop something in yourself; your generous, disinterested intentions and actions have a positive effect on you. So help others, and you too will feel better.*
