A helping hand

Human life is mysterious, and it's because of uncertainties. There is no way to say what will happen exactly in the next moment. Sometimes we face difficulties, and we need the help of others. Sometimes situations make us helpless.

In this busy world, nobody has the time for others. During the critical time, many known people refuse to give a helping hand, and expecting help from strangers is very rare. Instead of it, there are some people who give a helping hand without any kind of selfish desire. For those kindful people, we still believe that humanity still exists and it won't disappear. Let me share such an incident of my life.

I was newly admitted to the university, and in the beginning days, I went to university from my village. To go to university I needed to take two train journeys. One is for coming from the village to town, in that case, there was a local train that used to be very crowded. Although I don't like such a thing but I used to travel by the local train because it was the easiest and fastest way to come to town. On a particular day, I was waiting for the train after buying a ticket, and during the time I met with a stranger, and later I acknowledged that the person was also from my village. After the arrival of the train, I entered the train. There were so many people that I barely managed to stand in a place. Sometimes later, I felt suffocated, and I started to feel dizzy, and I became senseless for a little time. I came back to my senses quickly, but I found some people holding me there. I couldn't remember what they said because my senses were not fully active. I just can't remember that I didn't have the energy to stand. There was no scope to stop the train, and so it was stopped in the next station. Although my senses were not fully active but I found a familiar face there. It was the person whom I met on the platform. He also came down with me to the next station because he didn't want to leave me alone there in such a state, although I insisted him to go back to the train to reach his destination. He didn't listen to my words, and when he came down to another platform, he bought a juice and water for me. After washing my face with water and drinking juice, I felt a little better, and I regained energy. When I felt better, the person went to his destination, which means going to his job through another vehicle. That person was an unknown person to me, and I met with him for the first time on the platform, even if he was from my village. By helping me, I think he suffered a loss because he must be late in his job as I have taken his time. He could choose not to help me, but he did it. I am also thinking about what would happen to me if that person was not there to help me. I think I was lucky to meet the person on the platform. He helped me selflessly without any hesitation. I am thankful to him because he helped me when I was totally helpless.

Let me share another incident of some years ago. It was the beginning of my online earning journey, and I wanted to earn some money in the time of the pandemic. I met with a classmate who was earning a handsome amount by doing an online survey. He also suggested I do so. By following his instructions, I bought an IP using my money for the survey. He promised to help me to settle there by teaching me everything. After working for approximately 20 days, I earned some dollars, and when I asked him to help me to withdraw my money, he said the account needed verification and it would cost me money also. I had no money to give him. I requested him to verify my ID by himself and take the withdrawal in his account, which was equal to the money that he needed for verification. In the beginning, he didn't mention about the verification cost which means he hid the truth from me and he just refused to help me which would not bring any loss to him. He promised me to help, but he did the opposite. In fact, if he didn't insist, I might not buy an IP for the work. I felt angry because I worked hard to earn some money, but he didn't give me a helping hand, and all of my effort went in vain. I acknowledged his true colors, and I didn't say a single word to him for his actions. Later I gained knowledge about cryptocurrency and some other earning platforms. Right now, I know better than he does when it comes to online platforms. He never felt guilty for what he did with me. Still, he gives me suggestions about some other earning-related things. In several cases, I knew better, and I could guide him also because I knew he made some mistakes, but I played the role of dumb because I didn't want to help him. That's the current relationship between him and me. Although I won't take revenge but I won't forgive him either.
