What's The Point In Helping People?

<p>Is it for personal satisfaction or do you just want to look like a nice person ?</p>

<p>I feel good helping people. That’s just me though. Personal satisfaction, I guess ^_^</p>

<p>Personal satisfaction. It’s just fun for me.</p>

<p>It’s both, but it’s more of “I want to look like a nice person.”</p>

<p>It’s fun. Personal satisfaction.</p>

<p>They who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind.</p>

<p>^ you punctuated, omg!!! :D</p>

<p>brownie points, duh. I’m 25 pts away from a free pencil topper!</p>

<p>Some possible reasons:
-personal satisfaction
-people will think you’re nice/good/whatever
-you are doing something new, which is always good
-understand other people in different situations by meeting them
-some people believe in karma/God wanting you to do that/other supernatural reasons
-the “help yourself by helping others” theory which extends past personal satisfaction</p>

<p>For me, it involves personal benefit - it makes me more relaxed, I enjoy it, and I understand people more.</p>

<p>I do it because I don’t want other people to be in uncomfortable (or worse) conditions.</p>

<p>To gain leverage over them, abuse it to all hell, and to make them your personal biznitch. What else?</p>

<p>Because it is right. It is the duty of every person to help every other person in need as much as possible.</p>

<p>One of the secrets of life is that all that is really worth the doing is what we do for others. </p>

<p>Tis why, we stumbled across the secret at some point.</p>

<p>Helping people makes me feel good. BUT when you help people you get stuff in return. XD I wouldnt say I do things just to get nice things back, but its a plus.</p>

<p>So helping people is inherently selfish as you only do it to gain some sort of PERSONAL satisfaction? So you feel guilty until you help them and then, feeling good about yourselves, you go back to your posh lives leaving them in the dust? </p>

<p>I help people because I try to make a difference.</p>

<p>Although we help people for our own benefits, it’s also within our nature to help people even if we don’t notably benefit. For me it’s a combination of self satisfaction, personal benefit, and looking nice, depending on the situation.</p>

<p>Good Answers :)</p>

<p>It’s only natural.</p>

<p>By natural selection the caveman who scratches another’s back has more chances of breeding than a selfish caveman. The selfish ones die out over time</p>

<p>To be nice.</p>
