Often I have offered a helping hand only to see it slapped away. It could be a job offer to someone who is out of their luck, advise to someone who is confused on which path to take or even a place to stay for a person who has been dislocated. Many times the hand will be taken for a moment but then the person will want a foot or even my entire body. Other times the hand that I offer will appear to be carrying a spear to others as they become offended by such an offer. That is why I offer a hand in the distance through such devices as this blog which offers a hand of uplifting insight, advise and concepts that can change someone’s life. Yet the times that my hand is taken to make someone’s life better, make it all worth it and as long as I have an open arm I will try to help someone grab it but if they try to slap it I’ll slap it back faster.
