But would you, honestly, be a better person if someone were there every day cajoling and reminding you that you should put yourself out for others? What if that cajoling and reminding succeeded and you did go out and help others more? Again, would'nt you be a better person for that?
Actually, I don't expect or desire "help" from strangers (other than in an emergency or disaster) so I don't feel the need to hand out help randomly either. I don't know that makes anyone a better or worse person. I'd prefer to cultivate family members, friends and neighbors. There is some enjoyment in helping people you like -- and there is the mutual indebtedness benefit as well -- they can help me when I need it to.
Anybody bugging and cajoling me every day is going to get very irritating very quickly. It would make me grummpy and rebelious.
