¿Solidarity or an escape to cylindered love?

There is nothing better than the feeling of helping someone we love. Or even we don't love, but we immediately start to love because of the nobility of the feeling they let us develop with them.

Help someone is like having the opportunity to love without expecting anything in return, without embarking on measurements and oppositions, as required by the individualistic and materialistic society in which we live. It's a new kind of free love, the cylindered love. ¿But how does this help isn't simply a wallowed selfishness?

It's true that learning to receive is much more complicated than learning to give. However, it's also difficult to understand that to give is a clever art that involves a giving much greater than what the ego or the heart demand.

To give what we have in excess is a noble gesture, but often illuminated by overlooking. To offer what someone asks us, even attention, requires a greater predisposition of giving. But get off the egomaniac support where we stand and decide not to help when someone asks for or just stop to understand if an offer of help will have the desired effect is a huge act of love, courage and respect for the dignity of others.

There are people who accept the simplicity of their life and simply don't want a more prosperous experience in the eyes of society. There are people who need others to stop helping them and in this way let them discover their own strengths and values, instead of delighting in a lazy and consented degeneration. Besides, when you help a person throughout her life, maybe she will never experience the real love of give something to others.

This isn't about stopping help because of the lack of rewards, visible or invisible. It's always about supporting, even from his back, but with enough proximity to see what goes on and give a hand if necessary. It works almost as education, having, however, always in mind that the pretense of helping others can't put the walkway over the free will of them.

If solidarity should be a job for life, it can never be divorced from compassion and responsibility because help doesn't materialize in the way we want, but in the way is needed.
