Yes it seems the world lacks one and is always seeking to heal as it begs for anyone to experience it. Let's no go far, in Nigeria today an answered prayer is when you rejoice among friends, church members and the public in narrating escapades in dodging the situation where you refuse to offer it. Even though it is so relegated that in the today of our times one understands the position of nursing it not even thinking of considering it, but it still cannot evade the risk of offering it to one who is at the spot of needing one. Help though is considered as Hospitality as it can be replaced by any word that comes to mind: "Charity"; "Kindness or Generosity"; "Philanthropy", etc. It is always good and end up in carving an untold memory of endless peace and happiness.
How Can This Help be Realized?
- Professional: This is achieved through the means of tutoring, offering therapeutic services, etc. In doing so, the developing of conscience is formed, orientation is sharpened and attitude is grown according to the nature and spirit of the tutor or therapist. The givers of this profession does so very quietly as it passes through a silent medium owing to the reaping of the topic, discussions, sessions, seminars that tackles the prevalent evils or virtues of the times. This method, personally, is fading quickly and dying early if measured statistically.
- Religious: This is in the rendering or specialization of giving out sermons, homilies or khutbahs, Analects, Avesta to people in congregations, churches and mosques. The aim is to sensitize the moral nature and the spiritual well-being of the audience. It also appeals to the divine aspect as it cuts across different religion, thus assuaging the material satisfaction of the individual.
- Communal: This is the application of social measures of relating with another person as it matters to the community or environment around the person. The majority of the people of the world engages in this as the explosion of the different kinds, nature, background, classes, disciplines, cultures of the person across any or all of the variables enlisted.
In all of these, this article is aimed that the perceptive person cannot count the number of times help is offered him nor is offered help in a day. Thus needless of the fact that such is subject to experimental variations as researches, mostly psychological, are replicated across certain norms, standards and reliable factors are approved or disapproved.
Researches that has succeeded in defining the helping behavior are:
- A Psychology of Health and Well being in Mass-gatherings.
- Organizational Citizenship Behavior
- The Bystander Effect in Helping Behavior
- Helping Behavior and Generosity
- What Factors Influence Helping Behaviours In Humans?
- Gender and Helping Behavior
- Racial Factors In Helping Behavior
From these articles, I hope to let you know and convince you that despite the challenges in Helping, it does not stop anyone-even you from giving or helping for it is an endless action and an inbuilt trait of the average human being. Thus my conviction to you, especially Nigerians of whom this is meant for, do not retire in giving and helping.
