hi
Helping others is not a bad characteristic. But at the same, the person whom we are helping (may be known to us or stranger) should not cheat us. Here is a story.
One Telugu lady living near by apartment, she used to tell me that she needs a room mate because she did not get married. But she has many friends. She does not want to live with Telugu women. The reason is she cannot cheat
them.If she get a tamilian /kannada/malayalee etc she will try to dominate and cheat.
Helping others is a good characteristic. But at the same time, we should not be cheated....I help other as much as possible. But I am very cautious or careful to certain people who try to cheat .
