Making people happy is a source of pleasure? Helping others to inprove their life their ancestors have lived for thousands of years Domt remove their home make theirs liveable again Dig wells instal solar creat jobs that pay build road transportation schools books a big smile because their only real treasure is their land and children and love it like they do You think making them happy will make you happy Ask yourself what would you want for your ancestor land and children? Ur thinkn if you make a donation it will make the giver happy Ask the native of any land what they have always yearned for Nice talk but only makes the theives who stole the land able to steal more because you dont have to give back what you stole Walk a mile in my shoes Comment from : Lester Pace

This is very mixed Not only does it matter how we do it, but matters whether what we're trying to help is willing and ablebrbrNeed an example? Look at Afghanistan, African communities and nations, etc Received so much aid, but later on turned back into square onebrbrSame can be applied in our society There are addicts that are in constant need of help and wanting to get better And there are those that take advantage of the aid presented to thembrbrSo in conclusion, it really depends whom you're helping in question Comment from : Macadamia

I can’t help but feel bad for the homeless citizens within her own country Comment from : S P

This Talk addresses one of the greatest losses seen due to current We have been forced to avoid physical contact, shared projects until Zoom came into play Now societies are learning new ways to exchange new experiences, together Humanity is demonstrating the need to exchange, giving and receiving, multiple currencies, both financial snd emotional This means we need to get in touch with our own emotions and how we express them in a productive and pleasurable manner “Works well with others, plays well with others” “collaborates” “participates” “coordinates” “communicated” are showing up, along with those of “isolated” “introverted” “alone” “retreated” may be a counter-balance, these behaviors again cause the need to interchange acts of receiving with those of giving And the dance 💃 continues Namaste 💕 Comment from : Laura Dawson

I love giving money and sharing what I got with everyone, I've given tens of thousands in food gas entertainment and filled up gas tanks but I stopped because these people don't even say thank you and hide when they get money, how is that fair to me? I'm never petty or stingy I love being able to give if I was rich id give cars and houses but these so call friends won't even give me a dollar I do favor after favor and don't want nothing but at least a thank you I'm done because I've learned that people are so ungrateful I don't deserve this So I'm done for good reason People will burrows tools and get offended when I ask for them back so I let them keep it I do as much as I can and get disrespected I'm done Comment from : Hector Diaz

Mostly its automatic reflex to me set aright something amiss I see a glass turned over on the table, I set it upright I see an ashtray with butts n ashes in it I dump them and clean it out I see someone without a coat out in cold weather, I offer a coat or a warm place to go I see a child searching for his/her parents in a store, I offer safe help for the child find the parent I offer friendliness to someome looking forlorn If there's a chance to buy it make give something r a lived one that I know would be absolutely delight by receiving it, I give it to him/her to enjoy the8r delight unit If you have a chance to make someone's day for them in some way,why would you Not?brOtherwise, if you know of someone with some difficulty they need some help with, the Best way to make them feel truly helped is to ASK what They would find helpful You really DONT likely Know better than they do, and they deserve to be shown that Respect brPeople won't remember what you said brPeople won't remember what you did brPeople will feel Comment from : Dana Gough

Such a great talk! Always love Ted talks and especially ones like this! Comment from : THE POWER OF HELPING with Reuben Wachs

This woman seems like a poor researcher to me honestly Just from seeing that short video with the toddler at the start of the talk, the bias in her testing was obvious As well as the fact that she thinks donating to that family is what made everyone happy, when she joined a group of people that repeatedly met and worked together to help the family out and created a community and invested in a project that eventually paid off I think they could have got the same feelings from coming together to make a garden really It's the sense of connecting to other people and forming a bond built by positive interaction that appears to be the source of happiness in all of the research that we're actually shown in detail, and not giving away money or anything like that Comment from : gammoregan
