I have never helped a person where long term it paid off, so why should I ever help someone if it doesn't benefit me?

Helping another person is its own reward. There is no way of knowing when helping someone else may benefit you in the long run. Helping another person can lead to improved emotional wellbeing, increased sense of belonging, and a connection to something greater than ourselves. It’s important to remember that even small acts of kindness have the ability to positively change someone’s life, and that may provide its own long-term benefit that extends to you.
