Altruism Matters And Is A Factor

Many people in our world love to help people.  Maybe they enjoy performing volunteer work.  Or maybe they work as a paid employee in a field that's meant to help people, such as the nursing field.  Maybe they work as doctors, psychotherapists, or human services workers, to name just a few.  And some people simply like to help a friend going through a tough time in their lives.


However, some individuals point out that those who try and succeed at helping others aren't doing so just to help others.  They say they do so because it makes themselves feel good about what they're doing to assist others.


Yes it's true that nobody is completely altruistic.


But when it comes to most people, I think their is still a lot of altruism involved.  Most folks who try to make a difference in the lives of others really do care about the people they're helping.


Hence, they have my respect.
