Help indeed!

Help

Help is a single 4 letter word.

Desired by the most, 
maybe deserved by a few.

Some say self help is the best,
try it and that makes you selfish 

Others say do not shy away from taking help,
try and you'll find yourself too dependent

Yet others say be liberal in giving help. 
This is the third option, 
sometimes mind wonders,
is it worth giving a try?

The divinity inside says - 
Isn't your coming here all about give and take?
whom you give and whom you take from,
Does it really matter?

For the world is one, many are the connections.
Some special, some not so much, and others unknown.
But try it out, because someone is always in its dire need.

Argues the devil inside -
Use your judgement - there are millionaires who went penniless who have 
gone down this path of charity 

But still, in this endless fight, following one's intuition:
When the hands go and try out giving help - 
be it any kind,
a reassuring smile, 
few words of kindness, 
a small pat,
maybe food to the needy, 
biscuits to the strays, or even
saving someone from dire situations.

Those hands and their owner realises - 
how easy it was to help.
Suddenly the divine smiles upon him - 
because you have done good, 
the mind says,
and good shall follow for you.

Isn't the only way to get happiness,
to give happiness?
