Help

Helping somebody needy is one of the greatest virtues. But I always wonder how would you make sure that by the help you are doing, you are not actually spoiling a person. And if you think that someone could make it a habit to depend on others, should you help him even if he is in need. Shouldn't it be a greater help in having him realised that one should first try all his means before asking anybody for help. This would make him an independent person and lead a better life.
