Feel good Friday...Born to Help

Feel Good Friday…Born to Help

If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day. --Alex Noble

In light of the disaster in Haiti we see an outpouring of empathy and help going to those less fortunate than us. It turns out this may be a biological imperative; that we humans are, in fact, born to be helpful and cooperative. What a revelation…we weren’t made to make money, or compete, or kill. We were made to cooperate, to help one another and ensure that all of us lead healthy and successful lives.

Here is a link to the New York Times article that explains the science behind this discovery:

and a video of a school in Japan where the teaching is how to be happy:
