Really getting into it

I've been reading about NW helping the young vagrant. Also about Warren and the people that he has helped. Then there's Paul with his crisis hotline tag. And of course Timmy has a hunger for helping too. Even I would like to help someone somehow. Perhaps everyone here wants to be of service.

So why do all these guys want to help? What's in it for them?

A while back, acam posted something to the effect that old men enjoy telling young guys about their experiences and dispensing advice based on them. (Makes old dudes feel wise or something.)

I guess that I feel that helping someone would give me a feeling of accomplishment, that would be testament to me, to my self worth.

Why do you guys desire to help?

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!
Ps 133:1 NASB
