why do you help people & the enviroment?

i help people and i enjoy helping and i feel better about myself by helping others, why do you help others and the enviroment?

 

Very simple my young friend. It's because someday in my own future,
I may NEED another person, or oxygen. Or maybe medicine made from some plant.
I don't want to run out of either on.

 

so u do it for selfish reasons?
thats what i dont get u help people for yourself yeh?

 

i just wanna point out i am not calling u selfish coz i no ur not but i just confused

 

i help because it makes me feel good. i love life, and do want to take it for granted, and want to give back. i believe it is natural for us to care and help one another and our planet.
i love life so therefore as in human love, i will do what ever i can for it

 

thank you brothwood ur words have helped me understand

thanks agen

 

Because eveyrthing has the right to life.

 

No matter what your actions in some way or another it can be thought as an act of selfishness. If you get enjoyment then you did so for that feeling ect. Just be happy that some ware trying to change the ways of the many.

 

I do it because I feel the need to. No other reason accept that I care for both people and the enviorment and it seems as if not many other people in my day to day life really do. Or they say they do and don't do a thing.

 

Well my reasons are not completely selfish, but like gandhiwars, I feel I need to cos nobody else will. Reusing stuff involves alot of hand washing and it's tempting to use disposables just so I don't have to wash it. I'm using pads and tampons more and more these days, at least for the first 2 days, then I use the rag.

I get a certain satisfaction when I use my own shopping bags.

I don't get any feel of satisfaction with a vegetarian diet.

I do what I do cos I care about my future, the future generation and esp. biodiversity.

 

Because otherwise things will die, and that's not something I can let happen...

 

What I mean when I talk about people, is I want as many friends as I can get.
That's why I help people when I can.

 

"We did not inherit this planet from our parents, we a borrowing it from our children." Gosh, I love that quote!

By the way Drumminmama, thanks for the Rock the Earth link you shared with us! I am checking it out right now.

I help people because they are my fellow man and I love them.It feels like the rigth thing to do. I help the enviroment because I love the earth as well. I believe it is a gift from God to mankind for us to take stewardship over. It is up to us to protect this wonderful planet!

(I have theen the "so we can have a place to boogie" sticker, I think on GypsyRose.com. I thought it was funny and cool. I have several enviromental bumper stickers, one of which says "Earth First: We'll destroy the other planets later" and one that says "Daddy, what were forests like?".)
