 The thing that almost nobody understands, is that desire to be useful to others is a primal need no different from need to feed oneself or have sex. But you'd better not go around just fucking everyone. Likewise, helping others should not be overglorified either. People should be wise about who, when and how much they help (just like with having sex). The balance between taking care of ones own body and soul and those of others is critical.
