Dear Instructors,
Throughout my life I was trying to help everyone around. Very often, when I helped someone, my situation get worse. I do not complain about it, but not so long ago I had a strange thought (maybe an insight), that maybe I'm doing a great mistake by fixing things and situations which I shouldn't even touch - that I'm "fixing other people Karma, instead of letting the person to work through their own Karma by their own", and that is very bad thing to do, because I should allow things to happen, that I should sometimes just move on, without trying to fix everything for everyone around.
What is a view of the Instructors? Could it be true, that by helping others, one can get more bad Karma?

Karma is action and consequence. If our actions produce terrible results, then we should reconsider what we are doing.
Knowing how to help is more important than trying to help someone. Otherwise we can create problems when we try to help without being conscious of the results.

Thank you for your response Almustafa.
My actions produce good results for others, but I suffer almost every time. I had read this book and I understand it's content, that the result is more important that intention.
Thank you, I'll try to meditate on this issue.
