Why should we help others more?

When we fall in love with someone or genuinely care for someone from the heart, three hormones—oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine—are released together in our brain.
As a result, a unique and pleasant feeling arises within us. We feel happy and joyful without any specific reason. Because dopamine is involved, our brain keeps craving that feeling again and again.
Interestingly, the same three hormones are also released together when we help someone selflessly or express gratitude sincerely.
So, if you want to live a good and happy life, try to help others selflessly or express gratitude as often as possible. Instead of getting involved in forbidden relationships, shouldn’t we focus more on helping others?
And if you want proof, try helping a helpless person selflessly today and then notice how you feel inside.
Helping others or showing gratitude does not always require money. Speaking kindly to people with a warm smile is also a form of expressing gratitude. Imagine you are walking down a road and notice some garbage lying in the middle, making it difficult for others to pass, but no one is cleaning it or removing it. If you take the initiative to remove it, through that simple act you have helped many people.
There are many more ways like this through which we can help others—without needing money at all.

That's nice and all, but isn't it a bit obvious?

Sure, but dont pretend helping others will solve all your problems or bring instant happiness.

It's great to highlight the benefits of helping others, but it feels a bit oversimplified; people have their own struggles, and not everyone can just step

Why should we help others more? Seems like another way to push the "feel good" agenda without addressing actual problems. Helping feels great, but it doesn't
