Once I was a woman who would never take charity or favors. I wished to do everything myself.
Then one day a lady who had offered something which I had refused asked me, "Kaylee, how do you feel when you are able to help someone?"
I said, "I feel honored and very good in my heart."
She replied, "Then why do you refuse that good feeling to others?"
And right then I knew it was wrong to refuse help from those who wish to give it.
I do not know why I tell you this. It just came to mind.
Perhaps it has something to do with pride.
