What's the point in trying to help others, if I can't even help myself?

There's no point. The universe just looks a little bit better when we do. It's still a madness inferno that punish us freely for an eternity.

sometimes helping others is the best way to help ourselves

helping others is part of the process of helping yourself

im exactly the same, but as long as i can help one person then its worth it

If you help them they could help you
