There are several psychological and genetic reasons for this:
- When you're giving, you have taken your mind off yourself. You have 'gotten out of your own way', allowing yourself to flourish.
- In-grained survival mechanisms. You know you are making the species better by giving, and that enhances everyone's likelihood of success and survuval.
- Selfishness. Oftentimes the giver beneifts directly, through learning a lesson or interaction with someone they wouldn't have normally had an interaction with.
So, what can I do for you? Give me the chance to be a better person.
