Helping others carries its own rewards, the first of which is a return to humanity.

A life dedicated to serving others is the life we should all aspire to live.

In college I took a social psychology course, something I thought useful for a career in advertising. Psychologists tested the story of the Good Samaritan. What they learned gives us reason to pause. The greatest determinant of who stopped to help the stranger in need was not compassion, morality, or religious creed. It was those who had the time. Makes me wonder if I have time to do good. Apparently, Angel does.

Charity work brings back the love of life to those you are helping, but it is the love it brings to yourself that is the most rewarding.

Unless you disregard shame, you won’t get a lasting reward.

The ability to persevere is what rewards us eventually.
