Good Morning Bulb Family!


Greetings, everyone!

Introduction


Hello, my dear family! How are you all? I hope you're doing well by the grace of the Almighty, who created this vast universe. I may not know the challenges you're facing, but I pray you find solutions to your problems or that someone kind lends you a helping hand.
These days, receiving help from others has become increasingly difficult. People often look for their own advantage in every situation. The pure essence of helping others selflessly seems to be fading. Yet, the earth remains green, and the plants still give us oxygen. This reminds us that there are still kind-hearted people in the world who expect nothing in return for their goodness. If not, the end of days would surely be near.

So here we are, talking about life, people, and the value of helping hands. Your host, the one and only Jawad, invites you to dive into this conversation and explore it further.

Now, I think it's time to delve into today's topic. But before I begin, if you haven't checked out my previous articles, I encourage you to do so.

Beast is sleeping inside us but it’s not Dead

From the dawn of human civilization, we’ve always needed help. Back then, people couldn’t survive on their own, and even now, we’re still grappling with the same struggles. The difference is, in today’s modern era, the problems have multiplied, and the way we seek help has changed. In the past, help was extended to those who genuinely needed it. Now, it often goes to those who can offer us something in return. It’s no longer pure help it’s a calculated exchange, a transaction disguised as kindness.
Are we truly helping, or are we baiting others for our own gain? I believe it’s the latter. It’s not help; it’s a gamble one that comes with strings attached. Such acts don’t uplift society; they corrode it. And aren’t we already seeing the cracks in this system?

This mindset saddens me. Nowadays, help comes with conditions, and even selfless acts are tarnished by ulterior motives. We take selfies while offering help, then post them on social media for likes and validation. In doing so, we disrespect the very people we claim to help, turning their moments of vulnerability into a spectacle. Is this justice? Of course not.
So, what’s the solution? The answer lies in genuine compassion. There are countless people around us who need help—middle-class families, for instance. They face dual struggles: they can neither beg nor openly ask for assistance. They remain silent, often overlooked. If you truly wish to help, focus on them. While others may offer grand gestures, you can make a real difference by helping those quietly struggling.

Don’t strive to be a star in the sky; be a candle in the dark. Stars are abundant and indistinguishable in their brilliance, but a single candle has the power to light up the darkness. Be that candle, my friend. Help someone silently without expecting recognition. True kindness needs no audience, and the Almighty will count your deeds among the blessed. Isn’t that the greatest reward?
The world glorifies superheroes from movies, but in reality, anyone can be a hero. A simple kind gesture, a helping hand, or even a reassuring smile can make you one. Don’t chase fleeting fame through performative acts. Instead, build a legacy of genuine kindness. Show the world that you are here not for applause but to uplift others, to feed the hungry, and to spread hope. Be the candle, not the star, my friend. Illuminate the darkness where it’s needed most and let your light bring warmth to those around you. That’s the mark of a true legend.
