Answer :

answer:Why shouldn’t we? I see this question as sort of a personality test, both for the person who asked it and for the people who answer it. It’s sort of a positive/negative binary decision: if you’re a positive person and are generally optimistic, then your inclination is to be kind and help others. If you’re a negative person, than you won’t. I don’t think it has to do with religion or morals or anything external. And it especially has nothing to do with reward, either in this world or after death. It’s about good deeds for their own sake, and nothing else. So my attitude would be – yes, we should be kind and help others because it is the humane thing to do in our society, and I am a member of this society.
