Here's a thought.
Most people generally enjoy helping people. There is satisfaction to be gained from making a difference, or being kind - a certain amount of worthiness that comes from being able to serve another. (I could bring religion into this, but I won't.)
But.
I've noticed that most people also don't like *accepting * help - for reasons that run from pride to just not wanting to "put someone else out."
However, given the above, it seems that accepting someone's help is in some ways doing that person a favor. So. I think accepting someone's offer of help is one of very few, honest-to-goodness "win-win" situations in life.
