That's a great question, Waxie!
We're all in this together, and you and I are both stronger in certain areas and weaker in others. My asking you for assistance in an area in which I'm weak is not helplessness; it's a natural joy for humans to come together and complement one another -- and generate synergy.
It's fun to help others, isn't it, when you have so much power that it's only enhanced, never diminished, by giving it away? You wouldn't want to live only on one side of that equation, would you? That would be stingy and selfish, and kind of yucky.
You can notice your own weakness, and request assistance in that area, without being helpless, by remembering never to forget to notice your strength, too -- and your own generosity in both providing
and accepting. Your own power is limitless, and the real help you get is basically help to access your own inner resources. And the real help you provide to others is the same -- helping them to be present to their own limitless power.
God, it's wonderful, isn't it? I'm so glad we're here together.
