"I'm not sure about the motivation question. It is interesting and I've pondered it before. I figure it's an instinct, an evolutionary element that keeps our societies bonded and somewhat stable. Though I guess you could argue it goes against the "survival of the fittest" side of evolution, since most of us are drawn to helping those who struggle physically, emotionally, financially or mentally. I hope it is a long-term evolutionary strain that keeps us from destroying our species and our habitat."
That is an interesting take on it. The two seem to collide.
