Should We Help Others in Need?

Helping others has always been a Chinese traditional virtue. But what’s strange nowadays is that people dare not give a hand to those who need help. I would like to elaborate my views on this issue.

Firstly, I think people’s moral sense has degraded. When egoism gains the upper hand, many people find it growingly hard to help others. Secondly, there is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions. Therefore, common peo-ple are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.

Helping others is also helping yourself. In general, I contend the idea that we should be warm-hearted enough to offer help and be able to look out for potential hazards so as not to be deceived.
