It won’t be wrong to say that it is a subtle yet concrete proof of our humanity. Without a doubt, it is one the most fundamental aspect of humanity and hence it is something that is deeply attached to our nature and our consciousness.  Now there can be numerous aspects of helping, we might look at it with various lenses which are available to us, such as emotional, psychological, social, personal and various more, but today i would like to explore the philosophical essence of this act of helping, what motives we usually have when we help someone  and what impact this act of ours has on the us and those who we help. the motive and the paradox.
