Answer 1

We're given the following choices:

• Helping the person myself
• Looking for someone who could help
• Informing the authorities that the person needs help

Although all of them seem like valid options, I would personally help the person myself. To make up for the loss of visiting my friend, I'd make plans for it some other time. We could still always message/call each other to keep in touch till then.

A lot of people tend to ignore differently-abled people, maybe because they aren't sure of how to approach one, or because they aren't sure of what to say to one, or it could just simply be because of a heart filled with pure ignorance for people who aren't as privileged as people who aren't differently-abled.

It's important that we do our part to make them feel as though them being different isn't a loss/disadvantage. A lot of people go through various sufferings, be it physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. In the end, we're all the same. We have different opinions. We need to live as though we're brothers and sisters.

Waiting for help would be the last option on my mind, as that would only make the person feel like I wouldn't want to help him myself. And that would only make him feel more different. We meet and talk to our friends/family almost every time. But in a world where ignorance still lures around, what guarantee do we have, on whether or not a differently-abled person has someone to talk to/look up to for support?

That's why, I'd immediately help the person myself.

I would actually help the person by myself .

It doesn't matter if I see my friend or not it is just that we need to be caring for others and we must help others . so then God will help us . So if am not helping that person than I will have to die out of guilt .
