while this is a good idea, it is not always possible to help someone. a person might not be able to, or qualified, to help another person with what they need. and then there are always situations where a person's biggest need is only something they can do for themselves. i think if its possible for you to help someone, without it being detrimental to yourself, then got for it. but i don't think a person should feel bad because they are not in the position to help anyone.
