Quick Little Thought

I'm starting to question helping people.

Why do we help people? To be nice? Why is that nice? How is that engrained into our skulls? Whats so good about helping people? Is it natural?

I'm starting to wonder if its against our nature to help people. Evolution wouldnt happen if we did. If we werent shallow, if we werent picky about our mates, then unfavourable genes would go move on, creating possibly more problems in the world.

This is just an idea I'm throwing out there, cause I'm not even sure if I like it yet...but it is certainly intriguing to me.

I'm thinking about this because I'm trying to think about what I want to do as a career. Because if I do become a lawyer, or a social worker...I'm working with people, helping people. Which is all fine and dandy, but I'm not sure if I agree with that right now. I mean...I feel like I should be going with nature...and following what it has planned for humans. By helping them, am I defying nature? Or has nature given us the ability to help them and therefore we should?

I'm so confused right now...any comments on this people? It'd be a nice topic to discuss.
