Question: If i see a person struggling!?
I have strong urge to help the person, even if i hate that person & even if its a stranger ive never met before and never will meet again!.

Can you consider this as an altruistic act!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you should ask the person if they want help and get a 'yes' before you help!.

i believe it's possible the reason you want to help is because seeing someone struggle causes some kind of pain inside you!. you want to act to relieve your own pain!. can this be considered altruistic!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nope!. Not at all, considering it is more chivilary than anything!. Altruistic (in my opinion) would most likely be more organized thus contridicting itself!. anyway, thats more commen sense, to help a struggling person lmao!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it is your nature!.

!.!.!.!.!.and you CAN consider it an altruistic act if you want to,but is'nt that kind of defeatist:
showing a tendency to expect failure or accept it too readily!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think so!. Not if denying the urge would be more difficult than giving into it!. You really wouldn't be acting selflessly if you merely helped the person to fulfill an urge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Being a helpful person should require no thought!. If you have to question the reason for helping a person than the intention is not sincere!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is the definition of an altruistic act!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just a human trait you've gotten from one of your ancestors!. Your a good person deep down inside!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think it is altruistic!.!.!.if most people me included see someone in trouble and in need of help they would, i think its human instinctWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think its wonderful!. I do the same thing!. You must be very compassionate!.
