Some times my neighbor ask some things like coffee powder, sugar, medicines and other things which is important to him. Most of the time i offer the things whichever he needed from me, if i have that thing. There is nothing wrong in helping our neighbors when they needed it from us, at the same time we don't encourage this kind of habit. If we provide the things every time, they started to ask things frequently from us.

We can give the things based on the necessity. If the thing is very essential to them and it is very hard without the thing, then we may help them and offer the needed thing. If they have the ability to skip the thing and ask the thing casually, then we must avoid giving that thing to them to stop this kind of habit as a frequent one.

Giving medicines is based on the situation, if the medicine is important to them, then i will give it to them and try my maximum to avoid frequency of this habit. It is really irritating if a person asking things for lot of time. Do you give things to your neighbors?
 
Hi good day..

Yeah thats a good thing to do.. In this society you cant live alone by your self...start with your neighbour..share your things.. help them when they need help.. in return if some day you'll need help from others then they will definetly help you..
 
I believe in the sayings "let the fisherman fish and not giving the fish ready". It means that let the people crave for his needs instead of giving it directly to him. There's no wrong about sharing, if you think that the person who is asking is really in need, but if it is asks always that's not fine. We should also limit our help. Let's help the person if he cannot really work by himself but ignore those who is using others for themselves. Time will come those people who is asking directly will take advantage to you. Be careful.
 
Yes it is good to be generous but we should not encourage others to abuse the kindness we show. A lot of people get away with this because they usually stir our emotions by attacking our merciful nature. They act as if we should pity them all the time or if not if they sense that we can't say NO to them they would really abuse us. However we can tell them in a nice way that what you are giving him is not something that you just pick up. Tell him that you also work hard to get those groceries done and so if he is a good friend he would be considerate in shelling out his goods too if he can or if not tell him not to do it so often. Communication again is the key. Tell them it's not comfortable on your part already and that you feel inconvenient about it.
