Thesis statement: You can help other people even you are also need to be

helped. Be kind.

The pandemic started seven months ago that was declared by the World Health
Organization (WHO). Many lives have changed from being infected by the virus to
discovering business out of the situation. It was either a positive or negative effect, and
we are all affected by it. Presumably, many people struggled more because it creates a
huge impact on their lives, for instance, those who lose their job or even closed their
business. It results in a crisis that many people seek help for them to survive. But, can
you help them if you also need to be helped? Would you rather help other people or
help yourself first?

The parable of good Samaritan talks about that the general perspective of the
people towards a man doesn’t define who you are and you can choose your own
decision that not should be only based on the norm you are living but also in your
perspective. In connection with this in our current situation right now, even though
everyone is struggling to survive, we have also the capacity to help other people who
might need help, and it's our own choice if we want to. Just like one of the trending thing
right now where you can send help to a student who needs a gadget for his/her online
class by giving a small amount of money as low as Php1. It is a good way of helping
each other even you do not personally know him/her. In this way, you are helping other
people with that very small amount of money. If I am a student who also needs it, I can
benchmark at him/her and find other means of generating money like online business or
online freelance work which could help me to not only dependent on other peoples’
help. I think in this way it is a good trait where you are also uplifting other people and
avoids yourself from doing illegal things to have money.

It is not a bad thing to help people in need because it is a wonderful feeling to

help and do something good for them. Nevertheless, people should also learn that not
all the time it is good to seek help but to learn to stand up on your own. This proves that
we might also need help but we can also help other people with small things than not
helping them at all. Although it is human nature to help ourselves first, we should not
forget to be kind and generous to others. We might come in different races and live in a
different norm that influences our decision but it doesn’t control our own choices we can
make rightful decisions out of it.
