    Fundamentally humans are social creatures, and we have an inherent tendency towards pro-social behaviour (with some exceptions due to mental health issues). We like doing things. We like doing things for other people. And doing something for the greater good/greater community instills us with a sense of pride and accomplishment

    Hell, I want to do things for the benefit of society, and my biggest barriers to that are a society that pushes me past my limits leading to burnout, and then I’m useless and feel useless. If I just got the support I needed when I needed it, it would be better for everyone in the long run
