In these modern times of ours, it's really easy to assume that everyone is out for themselves. Probably the biggest reason to believe that is that some people clearly are out for themselves. Being the kind of person who will act selflessly actively puts you at a disadvantage when you know that insanely selfish people exist in your same social sphere. The thing is, that still doesn't stop people from acting selflessly. Most people will still take responsibility and help people who are in a jam because honestly, it makes people feel bad when they know they're doing the wrong thing and good when they know they're doing the right thing. It sounds dumb but in a lot of cases it's just as simple as that. We're creatures who understand the value of being there for the group, and that compulsion to do social good is often too strong to resist. I mean, unless you're an entitled person.
But still, we often find our friends, peers and even complete strangers in need of aid and more often than not we choose to help. Does that make us debt-seeking virtue hounds? Possibly sometimes. But it's more likely that it just makes us people. For some more wholesome tales of selflessness, here are wholesome things people did for the love of the game.
