The cry for "help" is a universal human experience. It transcends cultures, languages, and generations. From the time we are infants, our primary communication is a plea for help—a cry for food, comfort, or safety. As we grow, the nature of our needs changes, but the fundamental desire for assistance remains. As the initial verses of this article suggest, there comes a moment for many of us when we shed the illusion of self-sufficiency. We confront the reality that we are not islands unto ourselves, capable of navigating life's complexities without a hand to hold or a voice to guide. Let's face it. We need help finding help in a helpless world.
