I often encounter (micro) cultures that are deeply uncomfortable with the notion of asking others for help. And when help is received, it seems to be the source of unending stress and anxiety. But help from friends, family, and even acquaintances who’ll become friends eventually is from deep inside and a place of love. They want to give and it is not charity for charity sake. One need not feel indebted in the way one might for a bank loan. Giving from a pure place should be appreciated sans feelings of shame and self pity.
