One could only imagine how much better the world would be if everyone went out of their way to help others. Not only to help others but to do so without expecting anything in return. I’ve heard said that helping others is one of the most gratifying feelings that one could have and a sure fire way to obtaining true happiness. Happiness results because of the satisfaction one receives from helping others. I know this to be true because I have experienced this on more than one occasion.
Ever since moving to to the Thesis theme I have been far from happy with it, but have persevered because I paid good money for it and I wasn’t going to let it go to waste. I was so unhappy that I wrote a post comparing it to FlexSqueeze. One of it’s

greatest failings, apart from it’s lack of ease of use, was since the changeover I lost my smilies :downer_ee: in the comment form, as well as the quicktags, something I had grown used to with my other blogs.
Anyway, the forums, which was supposed to be of great value, was of no use at all, and if it wasn’t for the help of Stefan Nilsson I would still be without my beloved smilies. I’m an avid reader of his blog and I’ve noticed that he is always willing to help others, as can be shown by his How to Create a Page Without Sidebars in Thesis post.
In appreciation of all his help in getting my smilies back I dedicate this post to him as a way of showing everyone that the world is not all about bullshit, and if we all went out of our way to help others, rather than trying to rip them off for personal gain, the world would be a much better place.

Good stuff Sire, and now I know why the smilies weren’t on every blog of yours. Yup, it’s nice that there are some good people in the world still.

Sure is Mitch, and it would be so much nicer there were more of us :wink_ee: Man, I love having my smilies back. :clap_tb:
Thank you Sire for this post, it’s highly appreciated. I think everyone would benefit from helping each others.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard about the movie Pay It Forward but it sums up my philosophy in a good way, even though the movie isn’t that great. Basically it’s about a boy who is told by his teacher to help three people. They should in return help three new people. In the end, this should create a pyramid of more and more people helping each others.
Again, thank you for this post.

It’s the very least I could do Stefan after all the time you put in to resolve my little smiley problem. :thumbup_tb:

i like this post uncle pete! since when are you all sentimental haha you should watch this movie eden is west (its a foregin film- my weakness) about illigal immigrants and those who go out of there way to help those in desperate need, and those who rip ppl off 4 all they’ve got bcoz lets face it humans are greedy bastards and the world is predominantley made up of complete morons but without them i guess we wouldnt learn anything about life and who to trust and not to trust (as nonno tells me repeatedly!)…plus the movie has a hot guy in there which is always worth a good watch (mayb not 4 u but all the ladies out there lol)
